phases: large rewrite on retract boundary...
phases: large rewrite on retract boundary The new code is still pure Python, so we still have room to going significantly faster. However its complexity of the complex part is `O(|[min_new_draft, tip]|)` instead of `O(|[min_draft, tip]|` which should help tremendously one repository with old draft (like mercurial-devel or mozilla-try). This is especially useful as the most common "retract boundary" operation happens when we commit/rewrite new drafts or when we push new draft to a non-publishing server. In this case, the smallest new_revs is very close to the tip and there is very few work to do. A few smaller optimisation could be done for these cases and will be introduced in later changesets. We still have iterate over large sets of roots, but this is already a great improvement for a very small amount of work. We gather information on the affected changeset as we go as we can put it to use in the next changesets. This extra data collection might slowdown the `register_new` case a bit, however for register_new, it should not really matters. The set of new nodes is either small, so the impact is negligible, or the set of new nodes is large, and the amount of work to do to had them will dominate the overhead the collecting information in `changed_revs`. As this new code compute the changes on the fly, it unlock other interesting improvement to be done in later changeset.

Mercurial supports generating standalone "bundle" files that hold repository
data. These "bundles" are typically saved locally and used later or exchanged
between different repositories, possibly on different machines. Example
commands using bundles are :hg:`bundle` and :hg:`unbundle`.
Generation of bundle files is controlled by a "bundle specification"
("bundlespec") string. This string tells the bundle generation process how
to create the bundle.
A "bundlespec" string is composed of the following elements:
type
A string denoting the bundle format to use.
compression
Denotes the compression engine to use compressing the raw bundle data.
parameters
Arbitrary key-value parameters to further control bundle generation.
A "bundlespec" string has the following formats:
<type>
The literal bundle format string is used.
<compression>-<type>
The compression engine and format are delimited by a hyphen (``-``).
Optional parameters follow the ``<type>``. Parameters are URI escaped
``key=value`` pairs. Each pair is delimited by a semicolon (``;``). The
first parameter begins after a ``;`` immediately following the ``<type>``
value.
Available Types
===============
The following bundle <type> strings are available:
v1
Produces a legacy "changegroup" version 1 bundle.
This format is compatible with nearly all Mercurial clients because it is
the oldest. However, it has some limitations, which is why it is no longer
the default for new repositories.
``v1`` bundles can be used with modern repositories using the "generaldelta"
storage format. However, it may take longer to produce the bundle and the
resulting bundle may be significantly larger than a ``v2`` bundle.
``v1`` bundles can only use the ``gzip``, ``bzip2``, and ``none`` compression
formats.
v2
Produces a version 2 bundle.
Version 2 bundles are an extensible format that can store additional
repository data (such as bookmarks and phases information) and they can
store data more efficiently, resulting in smaller bundles.
Version 2 bundles can also use modern compression engines, such as
``zstd``, making them faster to compress and often smaller.
Available Compression Engines
=============================
The following bundle <compression> engines can be used:
.. bundlecompressionmarker
The compression engines can be prepended with ``stream`` to create a streaming bundle.
These are bundles that are extremely efficient to produce and consume,
but do not have guaranteed compatibility with older clients.
Available Options
=================
The following options exist:
changegroup
Include the changegroup data in the bundle (default to True).
cg.version
Select the version of the changegroup to use. Available options are : 01, 02
or 03. By default it will be automatically selected according to the current
repository format.
obsolescence
Include obsolescence-markers relevant to the bundled changesets.
phases
Include phase information relevant to the bundled changesets.
revbranchcache
Include the "tags-fnodes" cache inside the bundle.
tagsfnodescache
Include the "tags-fnodes" cache inside the bundle.
Examples
========
``v2``
Produce a ``v2`` bundle using default options, including compression.
``none-v1``
Produce a ``v1`` bundle with no compression.
``zstd-v2``
Produce a ``v2`` bundle with zstandard compression using default
settings.
``zstd-v1``
This errors because ``zstd`` is not supported for ``v1`` types.
``none-streamv2``
Produce a ``v2`` streaming bundle with no compression.
``zstd-v2;obsolescence=true;phases=true``
Produce a ``v2`` bundle with zstandard compression which includes
obsolescence markers and phases.
