transaction: change list of journal entries into a dictionary...
transaction: change list of journal entries into a dictionary The transaction object used to keep a mapping table of path names to journal entries and a list of journal entries consisting of path and file offset to truncate on rollback. The offsets are used in three cases. repair.strip and rollback process all of them in one go, but they care about the order. For them, it is perfectly reasonable to read the journal back from disk as both operations already involve at least one system call per journal entry. The other consumer is the revlog logic for moving from inline to external data storage. It doesn't care about the order of the journal and just needs to original offset stored. Further optimisations are possible here to move the in-memory journal to a set(), but without memoisation of the original revlog size this could turn it into O(n^2) behavior in worst case when many revlogs need to migrated.

The censor system allows retroactively removing content from
files. Actually censoring a node requires using the censor extension,
but the functionality for handling censored nodes is partially in core.
Censored nodes in a filelog have the flag ``REVIDX_ISCENSORED`` set,
and the contents of the censored node are replaced with a censor
tombstone. For historical reasons, the tombstone is packed in the
filelog metadata field ``censored``. This allows censored nodes to be
(mostly) safely transmitted through old formats like changegroup
versions 1 and 2. When using changegroup formats older than 3, the
receiver is required to re-add the ``REVIDX_ISCENSORED`` flag when
storing the revision. This depends on the ``censored`` metadata key
never being used for anything other than censoring revisions, which is
true as of January 2017. Note that the revlog flag is the
authoritative marker of a censored node: the tombstone should only be
consulted when looking for a reason a node was censored or when revlog
flags are unavailable as mentioned above.
The tombstone data is a free-form string. It's expected that users of
censor will want to record the reason for censoring a node in the
tombstone. Censored nodes must be able to fit in the size of the
content being censored.
