revlog: optionally cache the full text when adding revisions...
revlog: optionally cache the full text when adding revisions revlog instances can cache the full text of a single revision. Typically the most recently read revision is cached. When adding a delta group via addgroup() and _addrevision(), the full text isn't always computed: sometimes only the passed in delta is sufficient for adding a new revision to the revlog. When writing the changelog from a delta group, the just-added full text revision is always read immediately after it is written because the changegroup code needs to extract the set of files from the entry. In other words, revision() is *always* being called and caching the full text of the just-added revision is guaranteed to result in a cache hit, making the cache worthwhile. This patch adds support to _addrevision() for always building and caching the full text. This option is currently only active when processing changelog entries from a changegroup. While the total number of revision() calls is the same, the location matters: buildtext() calls into revision() on the base revision when building the full text of the just-added revision. Since the previous revision's _addrevision() built the full text and the the previous revision is likely the base revision, this means that the base revision's full text is likely cached and can be used to compute the current full text from just a delta. No extra I/O required. The end result is the changelog isn't opened and read after adding every revision from a changegroup. On my 2013 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.10.5 from an SSD and Python 2.7, this patch impacted the time taken to apply ~262,000 changesets from a mozilla-central gzip bundle: before: ~43s after: ~32s ~25% reduction in changelog processing times. Not bad.

Mercurial supports several ways to specify individual revisions.
A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative integers are
treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip,
-2 denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth.
A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision
identifier.
A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a
unique revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form
identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix
of exactly one full-length identifier.
Any other string is treated as a bookmark, tag, or branch name. A
bookmark is a movable pointer to a revision. A tag is a permanent name
associated with a revision. A branch name denotes the tipmost open branch head
of that branch - or if they are all closed, the tipmost closed head of the
branch. Bookmark, tag, and branch names must not contain the ":" character.
The reserved name "tip" always identifies the most recent revision.
The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the
revision of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0.
The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If no
working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If an
uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the revision of the first
parent.
