revlog: move decompress() from module to revlog class (API)...
revlog: move decompress() from module to revlog class (API) Upcoming patches will convert revlogs to use the compression engine APIs to perform all things compression. The yet-to-be-introduced APIs support a persistent "compressor" object so the same object can be reused for multiple compression operations, leading to better performance. In addition, compression engines like zstd may wish to tweak compression engine state based on the revlog (e.g. per-revlog compression dictionaries). A global and shared decompress() function will shortly no longer make much sense. So, we move decompress() to be a method of the revlog class. It joins compress() there. On the mozilla-unified repo, we can measure the impact of this change on reading performance: $ hg perfrevlogchunks -c ! chunk ! wall 1.932573 comb 1.930000 user 1.900000 sys 0.030000 (best of 6) ! wall 1.955183 comb 1.960000 user 1.930000 sys 0.030000 (best of 6) ! chunk batch ! wall 1.787879 comb 1.780000 user 1.770000 sys 0.010000 (best of 6 ! wall 1.774444 comb 1.770000 user 1.750000 sys 0.020000 (best of 6) "chunk" appeared to become slower but "chunk batch" got faster. Upon further examination by running both sets multiple times, the numbers appear to converge across all runs. This tells me that there is no perceived performance impact to this refactor.

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.
