repoview: improve compute staticblockers perf Previously we would compute the repoview's static blockers by finding all the children of hidden commits that were not hidden. This was O(number of commits since first hidden change) since 'children' requires walking every commit from tip until the first hidden change. The new algorithm walks all heads down until it sees a public commit. This makes the computation O(number of draft) commits, which is much faster in large repositories with a large number of commits and a low number of drafts. On a large repo with 1000+ obsolete markers and the earliest draft commit around tip~200000, this improves computehidden perf by 200x (2s to 0.01s).

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.
