revlog: add a small cache of unfiltered chunk This can provides a massive boost to the reading of multiple revision and the computation of a valid delta chain. This greatly help operation like `hg log --patch`, delta computation (helping pull/unbundle), linkrev adjustment (helping copy tracing). A first round of benchmark for `hg log --patch --limit 1000` shows improvement in the 10-20% range on "small" repository like pypy or mercurial and large improvements (about 33%) for more complex ones like netbeans and mozilla's. These speeds up are consistent with the improvement to `hg pull` (from a server sending poor deltas) I saw benchmarking this last year. Further benchmark will be run during the freeze. I added some configuration in the experimental space to be able to further test the effect of various tuning for now. This feature should fit well in the "usage/resource profile" configuration that we should land next cycle. When it does not provides a benefit the overhead of the cache seem to be around 2%, a small price for the big improvement. In addition I believe we could shave most of this overhead with a more efficent lru implementation.

cHg
===

A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix.

Install:

$ make
$ make install

Usage:

$ chg help # show help of Mercurial
$ alias hg=chg # replace hg command
$ chg --kill-chg-daemon # terminate background server

Environment variables:

Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be
changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially
handled:

* configuration files are reloaded automatically by default.
* CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the
background command server.

The following variables are available for testing:

* CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.
* CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.
* CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up
connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60

Build environment variables:

* HGPATH: the path to the hg executable to call when CHGHG and HG are not set,
instead of "hg"
* HGPATHREL=1: when CHGHG and HG are not set, the hg executable will be ./hg
relative to the chg executable. Only works on linux, falls back to "hg"
otherwise.
