copy: add flag for disabling copy tracing...
copy: add flag for disabling copy tracing Copy tracing can be up to 80% of rebase time when rebasing stacks of commits in large repos (hundreds of thousands of files). This provides the option of turning off the majority of copy tracing. It does not turn off _forwardcopies() since that is used to carry copy information inside a commit across a rebase. This will affect the situation where a user edits a file, then rebases on top of commits that have moved that file. The move will not be detected and the user will have to manually resolve the issue (possibly by redoing the rebase with this flag off). The reason to have a flag instead of trying to fix the actual copy tracing performance is that copy tracing is fundamentally an O(number of files in the repo) operation. In order to know if file X in the rebase source was copied anywhere, we have to walk the filelog for every new file that exists in the rebase destination (i.e. a file in the destination that is not in the common ancestor). Without an index that lets us trace forward (i.e. from file Y in the common ancestor forward to the rebase destination), it will never be an O(number of changes in my branch) operation. In mozilla-central, rebasing a 3 commit stack across 20,000 revs goes from 39s to 11s.

Synopsis
""""""""
**hg** *command* [*option*]... [*argument*]...
Description
"""""""""""
The **hg** command provides a command line interface to the Mercurial
system.
Command Elements
""""""""""""""""
files...
indicates one or more filename or relative path filenames; see
`File Name Patterns`_ for information on pattern matching
path
indicates a path on the local machine
revision
indicates a changeset which can be specified as a changeset
revision number, a tag, or a unique substring of the changeset
hash value
repository path
either the pathname of a local repository or the URI of a remote
repository.

Files
"""""
``/etc/mercurial/hgrc``, ``$HOME/.hgrc``, ``.hg/hgrc``
This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in
``.hg/hgrc`` override those in ``$HOME/.hgrc``, and these override
settings made in the global ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` configuration.
See |hgrc(5)|_ for details of the contents and format of these
files.
``.hgignore``
This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that
describe file names that should be ignored by **hg**. For details,
see |hgignore(5)|_.
``.hgsub``
This file defines the locations of all subrepositories, and
tells where the subrepository checkouts came from. For details, see
:hg:`help subrepos`.
``.hgsubstate``
This file is where Mercurial stores all nested repository states. *NB: This
file should not be edited manually.*
``.hgtags``
This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one
of each separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of
the repository contents. The file content is encoded using UTF-8.
``.hg/last-message.txt``
This file is used by :hg:`commit` to store a backup of the commit message
in case the commit fails.
``.hg/localtags``
This file can be used to define local tags which are not shared among
repositories. The file format is the same as for ``.hgtags``, but it is
encoded using the local system encoding.
Some commands (e.g. revert) produce backup files ending in ``.orig``,
if the ``.orig`` file already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial,
it will be overwritten.
Bugs
""""
Probably lots, please post them to the mailing list (see Resources_
below) when you find them.
