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.

Mercurial for Plan 9 from Bell Labs
===================================

This directory contains support for Mercurial on Plan 9 from Bell Labs
platforms. It is assumed that the version of Python running on these
systems supports the ANSI/POSIX Environment (APE). At the time of this
writing, the bichued/python port is the most commonly installed version
of Python on these platforms. If a native port of Python is ever made,
some minor modification will need to be made to support some of the more
esoteric requirements of the platform rather than those currently made
(cf. posix.py).

By default, installations will have the factotum extension enabled; this
extension permits factotum(4) to act as an authentication agent for
HTTP repositories. Additionally, an extdiff command named 9diff is
enabled which generates diff(1) compatible output suitable for use with
the plumber(4).

Commit messages are plumbed using E if no editor is defined; users must
update the plumbed file to continue, otherwise the hg process must be
interrupted.

Some work remains with regard to documentation. Section 5 manual page
references for hgignore and hgrc need to be re-numbered to section 6 (file
formats) and a new man page writer should be written to support the
Plan 9 man macro set. Until these issues can be resolved, manual pages
are elided from the installation.

Basic install:

% mk install # do a system-wide install
% hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
% hg # see help

A proto(2) file is included in this directory as an example of how a
binary distribution could be packaged, ostensibly with contrib(1).

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
