repair: migrate revlogs during upgrade...
repair: migrate revlogs during upgrade Our next step for in-place upgrade is to migrate store data. Revlogs are the biggest source of data within the store and a store is useless without them, so we implement their migration first. Our strategy for migrating revlogs is to walk the store and call `revlog.clone()` on each revlog. There are some minor complications. Because revlogs have different storage options (e.g. changelog has generaldelta and delta chains disabled), we need to obtain the correct class of revlog so inserted data is encoded properly for its type. Various attempts at implementing progress indicators that didn't lead to frustration from false "it's almost done" indicators were made. I initially used a single progress bar based on number of revlogs. However, this quickly churned through all filelogs, got to 99% then effectively froze at 99.99% when it got to the manifest. So I converted the progress bar to total revision count. This was a little bit better. But the manifest was still significantly slower than filelogs and it took forever to process the last few percent. I then tried both revision/chunk bytes and raw bytes as the denominator. This had the opposite effect: because so much data is in manifests, it would churn through filelogs without showing much progress. When it got to manifests, it would fill in 90+% of the progress bar. I finally gave up having a unified progress bar and instead implemented 3 progress bars: 1 for filelog revisions, 1 for manifest revisions, and 1 for changelog revisions. I added extra messages indicating the total number of revisions of each so users know there are more progress bars coming. I also added extra messages before and after each stage to give extra details about what is happening. Strictly speaking, this isn't necessary. But the numbers are impressive. For example, when converting a non-generaldelta mozilla-central repository, the messages you see are: migrating 2475593 total revisions (1833043 in filelogs, 321156 in manifests, 321394 in changelog) migrating 1.67 GB in store; 2508 GB tracked data migrating 267868 filelogs containing 1833043 revisions (1.09 GB in store; 57.3 GB tracked data) finished migrating 1833043 filelog revisions across 267868 filelogs; change in size: -415776 bytes migrating 1 manifests containing 321156 revisions (518 MB in store; 2451 GB tracked data) That "2508 GB" figure really blew me away. I had no clue that the raw tracked data in mozilla-central was that large. Granted, 2451 GB is in the manifest and "only" 57.3 GB is in filelogs. But still. It's worth noting that gratuitous loading of source revlogs in order to display numbers and progress bars does serve a purpose: it ensures we can open all source revlogs. We don't want to spend several minutes copying revlogs only to encounter a permissions error or similar later. As part of this commit, we also add swapping of the store directory to the upgrade function. After revlogs are converted, we move the old store into the backup directory then move the temporary repo's store into the old store's location. On well-behaved systems, this should be 2 atomic operations and the window of inconsistency show be very narrow. There are still a few improvements to be made to store copying and upgrading. But this commit gets the bulk of the work out of the way.

To merge files Mercurial uses merge tools.
A merge tool combines two different versions of a file into a merged
file. Merge tools are given the two files and the greatest common
ancestor of the two file versions, so they can determine the changes
made on both branches.
Merge tools are used both for :hg:`resolve`, :hg:`merge`, :hg:`update`,
:hg:`backout` and in several extensions.
Usually, the merge tool tries to automatically reconcile the files by
combining all non-overlapping changes that occurred separately in
the two different evolutions of the same initial base file. Furthermore, some
interactive merge programs make it easier to manually resolve
conflicting merges, either in a graphical way, or by inserting some
conflict markers. Mercurial does not include any interactive merge
programs but relies on external tools for that.
Available merge tools
=====================
External merge tools and their properties are configured in the
merge-tools configuration section - see hgrc(5) - but they can often just
be named by their executable.
A merge tool is generally usable if its executable can be found on the
system and if it can handle the merge. The executable is found if it
is an absolute or relative executable path or the name of an
application in the executable search path. The tool is assumed to be
able to handle the merge if it can handle symlinks if the file is a
symlink, if it can handle binary files if the file is binary, and if a
GUI is available if the tool requires a GUI.
There are some internal merge tools which can be used. The internal
merge tools are:
.. internaltoolsmarker
Internal tools are always available and do not require a GUI but will by default
not handle symlinks or binary files.
Choosing a merge tool
=====================
Mercurial uses these rules when deciding which merge tool to use:
1. If a tool has been specified with the --tool option to merge or resolve, it
is used. If it is the name of a tool in the merge-tools configuration, its
configuration is used. Otherwise the specified tool must be executable by
the shell.
2. If the ``HGMERGE`` environment variable is present, its value is used and
must be executable by the shell.
3. If the filename of the file to be merged matches any of the patterns in the
merge-patterns configuration section, the first usable merge tool
corresponding to a matching pattern is used. Here, binary capabilities of the
merge tool are not considered.
4. If ui.merge is set it will be considered next. If the value is not the name
of a configured tool, the specified value is used and must be executable by
the shell. Otherwise the named tool is used if it is usable.
5. If any usable merge tools are present in the merge-tools configuration
section, the one with the highest priority is used.
6. If a program named ``hgmerge`` can be found on the system, it is used - but
it will by default not be used for symlinks and binary files.
7. If the file to be merged is not binary and is not a symlink, then
internal ``:merge`` is used.
8. The merge of the file fails and must be resolved before commit.
.. note::
After selecting a merge program, Mercurial will by default attempt
to merge the files using a simple merge algorithm first. Only if it doesn't
succeed because of conflicting changes Mercurial will actually execute the
merge program. Whether to use the simple merge algorithm first can be
controlled by the premerge setting of the merge tool. Premerge is enabled by
default unless the file is binary or a symlink.
See the merge-tools and ui sections of hgrc(5) for details on the
configuration of merge tools.
