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.

Most Mercurial commands accept various flags.
Flag names
==========
Flags for each command are listed in :hg:`help` for that command.
Additionally, some flags, such as --repository, are global and can be used with
any command - those are seen in :hg:`help -v`, and can be specified before or
after the command.
Every flag has at least a long name, such as --repository. Some flags may also
have a short one-letter name, such as the equivalent -R. Using the short or long
name is equivalent and has the same effect. The long name may be abbreviated to
any unambiguous prefix. For example, :hg:`commit --amend` can be abbreviated
to :hg:`commit --am`.
Flags that have a short name can also be bundled together - for instance, to
specify both --edit (short -e) and --interactive (short -i), one could use::
hg commit -ei
If any of the bundled flags takes a value (i.e. is not a boolean), it must be
last, followed by the value::
hg commit -im 'Message'
Flag types
==========
Mercurial command-line flags can be strings, numbers, booleans, or lists of
strings.
Specifying flag values
======================
The following syntaxes are allowed, assuming a flag 'flagname' with short name
'f'::
--flagname=foo
--flagname foo
-f foo
-ffoo
This syntax applies to all non-boolean flags (strings, numbers or lists).
Specifying boolean flags
========================
Boolean flags do not take a value parameter. To specify a boolean, use the flag
name to set it to true, or the same name prefixed with 'no-' to set it to
false::
hg commit --interactive
hg commit --no-interactive
Specifying list flags
=====================
List flags take multiple values. To specify them, pass the flag multiple times::
hg files --include mercurial --include tests
Setting flag defaults
=====================
In order to set a default value for a flag in an hgrc file, it is recommended to
use aliases::
[alias]
commit = commit --interactive
For more information on hgrc files, see :hg:`help config`.
Overriding flags on the command line
====================================
If the same non-list flag is specified multiple times on the command line, the
latest specification is used::
hg commit -m "Ignored value" -m "Used value"
This includes the use of aliases - e.g., if one has::
[alias]
committemp = commit -m "Ignored value"
then the following command will override that -m::
hg committemp -m "Used value"
Overriding flag defaults
========================
Every flag has a default value, and you may also set your own defaults in hgrc
as described above.
Except for list flags, defaults can be overridden on the command line simply by
specifying the flag in that location.
Hidden flags
============
Some flags are not shown in a command's help by default - specifically, those
that are deemed to be experimental, deprecated or advanced. To show all flags,
add the --verbose flag for the help command::
hg help --verbose commit
