commit: move empty commit condition to a new line The empty commit condition was a messy if condition. Let's move it to a new line and change it to 'or' statements so it's cleaner and more readable. A future commit will add additional logic to this line.

dirs: speed up by storing number of direct children per dir The Python version of the dirs type stores only the number of direct children associated with each directory. That means that while adding a directory, it only has to walk backwards until it runs into a directory that is already in its map. The C version walks all the way to the top-most directory. By copying the Python version's clever trick to the C code, we can speed it up quite a bit. On the Firefox repo, perfdirs now runs in 0.031390, from 0.056518 before the undoing Sid's optimization in the previous change, and 0.061835 before previous his optimization. More practically, it speeds up 'hg status nonexistent' on the Firefox repo from 0.176s to 0.155s. It's unclear why the C version did not have the same cleverness implemented from the start, especially given that they were both written by the same person (Bryan O'Sullivan) very close in time: 856960173630 (scmutil: add a dirs class, 2013-04-10) 02ee846b246a (scmutil: rewrite dirs in C, use if available, 2013-04-10)

dirs: back out forward-searching in finddirs() This backs out the changes below. The next patch will implement a faster algorithm based on backward-walking in finddirs(). 67241ee427cf (dirs._addpath: reinstate use of Py_CLEAR, 2015-04-07) 6f0e6fa9fdd7 (dirs._addpath: don't mutate Python strings after exposing them (issue4589), 2015-04-06) 1a9efc312700 (dirs.addpath: rework algorithm to search forward, 2015-03-27)

templatekw: replace currentbookmark with activebookmark keyword Today, the terms 'active' and 'current' are interchangeably used throughout the codebase in reference to the active bookmark (the bookmark that will be updated with the next commit). This leads to confusion among developers and users. This patch is part of a series to standardize the usage to 'active' throughout the mercurial codebase and user interface.

pathutil: hint if a path is root relative instead of cwd relative (issue4663) Given that this path is going to abort, it seems OK to spend the time to do an alternate lookup to better inform the user. The path returned by util.pathto() ends with '/' at least in some cases, so os.path.relpath() is used instead, which requires python 2.6.

check-code: drop the python 2.5 warning for os.path.relpath() There's plenty of other cleanup to do in here, but this specific one is used in the next patch.

setup.py: drop compatibility with Python 2.4 and 2.5 (BC) The last blocker for dropping Python 2.4 was Centos 5. We now provide our own Mercurial package for Centos 5 with a bundled Python2.7. I'm therefore happy to officially drop compatibility with Python 2.4 (and Python 2.5 that nobody really cares about). This open the season for code cleanup. It is war's prize to take all vantage.

rpm.spec: bump python dependency to 2.6 We are about to drop 2.4 requirement in Mercurial's setup.py, we bump rpm dependency first for the sake of smaller changeset. Clean up of the spec file can come after the dependency is actually dropped.
