rebase: move actual rebase into a single transaction...
rebase: move actual rebase into a single transaction Previously, rebasing would open several transaction over the course of rebasing several commits. Opening a transaction can have notable overhead (like copying the dirstate) which can add up when rebasing many commits. This patch adds a single large transaction around the actual commit rebase operation, with a catch for intervention which serializes the current state if we need to drop back to the terminal for user intervention. Amazingly, almost all the tests seem to pass. On large repos with large working copies, this can speed up rebasing 7 commits by 25%. I'd expect the percentage to be a bit larger for rebasing even more commits. There are minor test changes because we're rolling back the entire transaction during unexpected exceptions instead of just stopping mid-rebase, so there's no more backup bundle. It also leave an unknown file in the working copy, since our clean up 'hg update' doesn't delete unknown files.

WiX installer source files
==========================
The files in this folder are used by the thg-winbuild [1] package
building architecture to create a Mercurial MSI installer. These files
are versioned within the Mercurial source tree because the WXS files
must kept up to date with distribution changes within their branch. In
other words, the default branch WXS files are expected to diverge from
the stable branch WXS files. Storing them within the same repository is
the only sane way to keep the source tree and the installer in sync.
The MSI installer builder uses only the mercurial.ini file from the
contrib/win32 folder, the contents of which have been historically used
to create an InnoSetup based installer. The rest of the files there are
ignored.
The MSI packages built by thg-winbuild require elevated (admin)
privileges to be installed due to the installation of MSVC CRT libraries
under the C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS folder. Thus the InnoSetup installers may
still be useful to some users.
To build your own MSI packages, clone the thg-winbuild [1] repository
and follow the README.txt [2] instructions closely. There are fewer
prerequisites for a WiX [3] installer than an InnoSetup installer, but
they are more specific.
