"""core code for "sidedata" support

The "sidedata" are stored alongside the revision without actually being part of
its content and not affecting its hash. It's main use cases is to cache
important information related to a changesets.

The current implementation is experimental and subject to changes. Do not rely
on it in production.

Sidedata are stored in the revlog itself, withing the revision rawtext. They
are inserted, removed from it using the flagprocessors mechanism. The following
format is currently used::

    initial header:
        <number of sidedata; 2 bytes>
    sidedata (repeated N times):
        <sidedata-key; 2 bytes>
        <sidedata-entry-length: 4 bytes>
        <sidedata-content-sha1-digest: 20 bytes>
        <sidedata-content; X bytes>
    normal raw text:
        <all bytes remaining in the rawtext>

This is a simple and effective format. It should be enought to experiment with
the concept.
