branchcache: stop writing more branchcache file on disk than needed...
branchcache: stop writing more branchcache file on disk than needed Before this change, we were unconditionally writing a branchmap file for the filter level passed to `update_disk`. This is actually counter productive if no update were needed for this filter level. In many case, the branch cache for a filter level is identical to its parent "subset" and it is better to simply keep the subset update and reuse it every time instead of having to do identical work for similar subset. So we change the `update_disk` method to only write a file when that filter level differ from its parent. This removes many cases where identical files were written, requiring multiple boring update in the test suite. The only notable changes is the change to `test-strip-branch-cache.t`, this case was checking a scenario that no longer reproduce the bug as writing less branchmap file result in less stalled cache on disk. Strictly speaking, we could create a more convoluted scenario that create a similar issue. However the next changeset would also cover that scenario so we directly updated that test case to a "no longer buggy" state.

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.
