setdiscovery: precompute children revisions to avoid quadratic lookup...
setdiscovery: precompute children revisions to avoid quadratic lookup Moving away from dagutil a few commits ago introduced quadratic behavior when resolving children revisions during discovery. This commit introduces a precompute step of the children revisions to avoid the bad behavior. I believe the new code should have near identical performance to what dagutil was doing before. Behavior is still slightly different because we take into account filtered revisions. But this change was made when we moved off dagutil. I added a comment about multiple invocations of this function redundantly calculating the children revisions. I believe this potentially undesirable behavior was present when we used dagutil, as the call to inverse() previously in this function created a new object and required computing children on every invocation. I thought we should document the potential for a performance issue rather than let it go undocumented. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4326

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.
