parsers: a C implementation of the new ancestors algorithm The performance of both the old and new Python ancestor algorithms depends on the number of revs they need to traverse. Although the new algorithm performs far better than the old when revs are numerically and topologically close, both algorithms become slow under other circumstances, taking up to 1.8 seconds to give answers in a Linux kernel repo. This C implementation of the new algorithm is a fairly straightforward transliteration. The only corner case of interest is that it raises an OverflowError if the number of GCA candidates found during the first pass is greater than 24, to avoid the dual perils of fixnum overflow and trying to allocate too much memory. (If this exception is raised, the Python implementation is used instead.) Performance numbers are good: in a Linux kernel repo, time for "hg debugancestors" on two distant revs (24bf01de7537 and c2a8808f5943) is as follows: Old Python: 0.36 sec New Python: 0.42 sec New C: 0.02 sec For a case where the new algorithm should perform well: Old Python: 1.84 sec New Python: 0.07 sec New C: measures as zero when using --time (This commit includes a paranoid cross-check to ensure that the Python and C implementations give identical answers. The above performance numbers were measured with that check disabled.)

Valid URLs are of the form::
local/filesystem/path[#revision]
file://local/filesystem/path[#revision]
http://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
https://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
ssh://[user@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
Paths in the local filesystem can either point to Mercurial
repositories or to bundle files (as created by :hg:`bundle` or :hg:`
incoming --bundle`). See also :hg:`help paths`.
An optional identifier after # indicates a particular branch, tag, or
changeset to use from the remote repository. See also :hg:`help
revisions`.
Some features, such as pushing to http:// and https:// URLs are only
possible if the feature is explicitly enabled on the remote Mercurial
server.
Note that the security of HTTPS URLs depends on proper configuration of
web.cacerts.
Some notes about using SSH with Mercurial:
- SSH requires an accessible shell account on the destination machine
and a copy of hg in the remote path or specified with as remotecmd.
- path is relative to the remote user's home directory by default. Use
an extra slash at the start of a path to specify an absolute path::
ssh://example.com//tmp/repository
- Mercurial doesn't use its own compression via SSH; the right thing
to do is to configure it in your ~/.ssh/config, e.g.::
Host *.mylocalnetwork.example.com
Compression no
Host *
Compression yes
Alternatively specify "ssh -C" as your ssh command in your
configuration file or with the --ssh command line option.
These URLs can all be stored in your configuration file with path
aliases under the [paths] section like so::
[paths]
alias1 = URL1
alias2 = URL2
...
You can then use the alias for any command that uses a URL (for
example :hg:`pull alias1` will be treated as :hg:`pull URL1`).
Two path aliases are special because they are used as defaults when
you do not provide the URL to a command:
default:
When you create a repository with hg clone, the clone command saves
the location of the source repository as the new repository's
'default' path. This is then used when you omit path from push- and
pull-like commands (including incoming and outgoing).
default-push:
The push command will look for a path named 'default-push', and
prefer it over 'default' if both are defined.
