compression: introduce an official `format.revlog-compression` option This option supersedes the `experiment.format.compression` option. The value currently supported are zlib (default) and zstd (if Mercurial was compiled with zstd support). The option gained an explicit reference to `revlog` since this is the target usage here. Different storage methods might require different compression strategies. In our tests, using zstd give a significant CPU usage improvement (both compression and decompressing) while keeping similar repository size. Zstd as other interresting mode (dictionnary, pre-text, etc…) that are probably worth exploring. However, just plain switching from zlib to zstd provide a large benefit.

Build Status Code Coverage

This library provides encoding and decoding for the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) (RFC 7049) serialization format.

There exists another Python CBOR implementation (cbor) which is faster on CPython due to its C extensions. On PyPy, cbor2 and cbor are almost identical in performance. The other implementation also lacks documentation and a comprehensive test suite, does not support most standard extension tags and is known to crash (segfault) when passed a cyclic structure (say, a list containing itself).
