perf: import newer modules separately for earlier Mercurial...
perf: import newer modules separately for earlier Mercurial demandimport of early Mercurial loads an imported module immediately, if a module is imported absolutely by "from a import b" style. Recent perf.py satisfies this condition, because it does: - have "from __future__ import absolute_import" line - use "from a import b" style for modules in "mercurial" package Before this patch, importing modules below prevents perf.py from being loaded by earlier Mercurial, because these aren't available in such Mercurial, even though there are some code paths for Mercurial earlier than 1.9. - branchmap 2.5 (or bcee63733aad) - repoview 2.5 (or 3a6ddacb7198) - obsolete 2.3 (or ad0d6c2b3279) - scmutil 1.9 (or 8b252e826c68) For example, setting "_prereadsize" attribute in perfindex() and perfnodelookup() is effective only with Mercurial earlier than 1.8 (or 61c9bc3da402). After this patch, "mercurial.error" is the only blocker in "from mercurial import" statement for loading perf.py with Mercurial earlier than 1.2. This patch ignores it, because just importing it separately isn't enough.

Mercurial has the ability to add new features through the use of
extensions. Extensions may add new commands, add options to
existing commands, change the default behavior of commands, or
implement hooks.
To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in the
Python search path, create an entry for it in your configuration file,
like this::
[extensions]
foo =
You may also specify the full path to an extension::
[extensions]
myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py
See :hg:`help config` for more information on configuration files.
Extensions are not loaded by default for a variety of reasons:
they can increase startup overhead; they may be meant for advanced
usage only; they may provide potentially dangerous abilities (such
as letting you destroy or modify history); they might not be ready
for prime time; or they may alter some usual behaviors of stock
Mercurial. It is thus up to the user to activate extensions as
needed.
To explicitly disable an extension enabled in a configuration file of
broader scope, prepend its path with !::
[extensions]
# disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py
bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py
# ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz
baz = !
