phases: large rewrite on retract boundary...
phases: large rewrite on retract boundary The new code is still pure Python, so we still have room to going significantly faster. However its complexity of the complex part is `O(|[min_new_draft, tip]|)` instead of `O(|[min_draft, tip]|` which should help tremendously one repository with old draft (like mercurial-devel or mozilla-try). This is especially useful as the most common "retract boundary" operation happens when we commit/rewrite new drafts or when we push new draft to a non-publishing server. In this case, the smallest new_revs is very close to the tip and there is very few work to do. A few smaller optimisation could be done for these cases and will be introduced in later changesets. We still have iterate over large sets of roots, but this is already a great improvement for a very small amount of work. We gather information on the affected changeset as we go as we can put it to use in the next changesets. This extra data collection might slowdown the `register_new` case a bit, however for register_new, it should not really matters. The set of new nodes is either small, so the impact is negligible, or the set of new nodes is large, and the amount of work to do to had them will dominate the overhead the collecting information in `changed_revs`. As this new code compute the changes on the fly, it unlock other interesting improvement to be done in later changeset.

help: create packages for the help text...
 r44031 Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
