dirs: resolve fuzzer OOM situation by disallowing deep directory hierarchies It seems like 2048 directories ought to be enough for any reasonable use of Mercurial? A previous version of this patch scanned for slashes before any allocations occurred. That approach is slower than this in the happy path, but much faster than this in the case that too many slashes are encountered. We may want to revisit it in the future using memchr() so it'll be well-optimized by the libc we're using. .. bc: Mercurial will now defend against OOMs by refusing to operate on paths with 2048 or more components. This means that _extremely_ deep path hierarchies will be rejected, but we anticipate nobody is using hierarchies this deep. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7411

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.
