py3: avoid use of basestring "In this case, result is a source variable of a list to be returned, it shouldn't be unicode. Hence we can use bytes instead of basestring here." -Yuya

py3: use unicodes in __slots__ __slots__ in Python 3 accepts only unicodes and there is no harm using unicodes in __slots__. So just adding u'' is fine. Previous occurences of this problem are treated the same way.

memctx: allow the metadataonlyctx thats reusing the manifest node When we have a lot of files writing a new manifest revision can be expensive. This commit adds a possibility for memctx to reuse a manifest from a different commit. This can be beneficial for commands that are creating metadata changes without any actual files changed like "hg metaedit" in evolve extension. I will send the change for evolve that leverages this once this is accepted.

localrepo: make it possible to reuse manifest when commiting context This makes the commit function understand the context that's reusing manifest.

manifest: expose the parents() method

httppeer: assign Vary request header last In preparation for adding another value to it in a subsequent patch. While I was here, I added some empty lines because walls of text are hard to read.

wireproto: only advertise HTTP-specific capabilities to HTTP peers (BC) Previously, the capabilities list was protocol agnostic and we advertised the same capabilities list to all clients, regardless of transport protocol. A few capabilities are specific to HTTP. I see no good reason why we should advertise them to SSH clients. So this patch limits their advertisement to HTTP clients. This patch is BC, but SSH clients shouldn't be using the removed capabilities so there should be no impact.

protocol: declare transport protocol name We add an attribute to the HTTP and SSH protocol implementations identifying the transport so future patches can conditionally expose capabilities on a per-transport basis.

bdiff: early pruning of common prefix before doing expensive computations It seems quite common that files don't change completely. New lines are often pretty much appended, and modifications will often only change a small section of the file which on average will be in the middle. There can thus be a big win by pruning a common prefix before starting the more expensive search for longest common substrings. Worst case, it will scan through a long sequence of similar bytes without encountering a newline. Splitlines will then have to do the same again ... twice for each side. If similar lines are found, splitlines will save the double iteration and hashing of the lines ... plus there will be less lines to find common substrings in. This change might in some cases make the algorith pick shorter or less optimal common substrings. We can't have the cake and eat it. This make hg --time bundle --base null -r 4.0 go from 14.5 to 15 s - a 3% increase.
