revlog: make pure version of _partialmatch() support 40-byte hex nodeids Without this patch, test-histedit-arguments.t would fail when run with --pure. It turned out to be because the pure version of _partialmatch() does not support full 40-byte hex nodeids. When histedit's instructions include things like "pick tip", it resolves the "tip" revision early to a full nodeid (but plain hex nodeid prefixes are not resolved to full nodeids). Then the nodeid (full or not) is looked up using to a full nodeid later. This step is what fails in pure mode. It has been failing since my c4131138eadb (histedit: look up partial nodeid as partial nodeid, 2018-04-06). I haven't verified, but I suspect histedit instructions like "pick <full hex nodeid>" would have been failing before my commit too, though. The fix is trivial: change a "< 40" to "<= 40".

#require no-pure

A script to generate nasty diff worst-case scenarios:

  $ cat > s.py <<EOF
  > import random
  > for x in range(100000):
  >     print
  >     if random.randint(0, 100) >= 50:
  >         x += 1
  >     print(hex(x))
  > EOF

  $ hg init a
  $ cd a

Check in a big file:

  $ $PYTHON ../s.py > a
  $ hg ci -qAm0

Modify it:

  $ $PYTHON ../s.py > a

Time a check-in, should never take more than 10 seconds user time:

  $ hg ci --time -m1
  time: real .* secs .user [0-9][.].* sys .* (re)
