zstandard: vendor python-zstandard 0.10.1...
zstandard: vendor python-zstandard 0.10.1 This was just released. The upstream source distribution from PyPI was extracted. Unwanted files were removed. The clang-format ignore list was updated to reflect the new source of files. setup.py was updated to pass a new argument to python-zstandard's function for returning an Extension instance. Upstream had to change to use relative paths because Python 3.7's packaging doesn't seem to like absolute paths when defining sources, includes, etc. The default relative path calculation is relative to setup_zstd.py which is different from the directory of Mercurial's setup.py. The project contains a vendored copy of zstandard 1.3.6. The old version was 1.3.4. The API should be backwards compatible and nothing in core should need adjusted. However, there is a new "chunker" API that we may find useful in places where we want to emit compressed chunks of a fixed size. There are a pair of bug fixes in 0.10.0 with regards to compressobj() and decompressobj() when block flushing is used. I actually found these bugs when introducing these APIs in Mercurial! But existing Mercurial code is not affected because we don't perform block flushing. # no-check-commit because 3rd party code has different style guidelines Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4911

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
