revlog: introduce an explicit tracking of what the revlog is about Since the dawn of time, people have been forced to rely to lossy introspection of the index filename to determine what the purpose and role of the revlog they encounter is. This is hacky, error prone, inflexible, abstraction-leaky, <insert-your-own-complaints-here>. In f63299ee7e4d Raphaël introduced a new attribute to track this information: `revlog_kind`. However it is initialized in an odd place and various instances end up not having it set. In addition is only tracking some of the information we end up having to introspect in various pieces of code. So we add a new attribute that holds more data and is more strictly enforced. This work is done in collaboration with Raphaël. The `revlog_kind` one will be removed/adapted in the next changeset. We expect to be able to clean up various existing piece of code and to simplify coming work around the newer revlog format. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10352

cHg
===

A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix.

Install:

$ make
$ make install

Usage:

$ chg help # show help of Mercurial
$ alias hg=chg # replace hg command
$ chg --kill-chg-daemon # terminate background server

Environment variables:

Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be
changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially
handled:

* configuration files are reloaded automatically by default.
* CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the
background command server.

The following variables are available for testing:

* CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.
* CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.
* CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up
connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60

Build environment variables:

* HGPATH: the path to the hg executable to call when CHGHG and HG are not set,
instead of "hg"
* HGPATHREL=1: when CHGHG and HG are not set, the hg executable will be ./hg
relative to the chg executable. Only works on linux, falls back to "hg"
otherwise.
