revset: make use of natively-computed set for 'draft()' and 'secret()' If the computation of a set for each phase (done in C) is available, we use it directly instead of applying a simple filter. This give a massive speed-up in the vast majority of cases. On my mercurial repo with about 15000 out of 40000 draft changesets: revset: draft() plain min first last 0) 0.011201 0.019950 0.009844 0.000074 1) 0.000284 2% 0.000312 1% 0.000314 3% 0.000315 x4.3 Bad performance for "last" come from the handling of the 15000 elements set (memory allocation, filtering hidden changesets (99% of it) etc. compared to applying the filter only on a handfuld of revisions (the first draft changesets being close of tip). This is not seen as an issue since: * Timing is still pretty good and in line with all the other one, * Current user of Vanilla Mercurial will not have 1/3 of their repo draft, This bad effect disappears when phase's set is smaller. (about 200 secrets): revset: secret() plain min first last 0) 0.011181 0.022228 0.010851 0.000452 1) 0.000058 0% 0.000084 0% 0.000087 0% 0.000087 19%

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.
