streamclone: define first iteration of version 2 of stream format...
streamclone: define first iteration of version 2 of stream format (This patch is based on a first draft from Gregory Szorc, with deeper rework) Version 1 of the stream clone format was invented many years ago and suffers from a few deficiencies: 1) Filenames are stored in store-encoded (on filesystem) form rather than in their internal form. This makes future compatibility with new store filename encodings more difficult. 2) File entry "headers" consist of a newline of the file name followed by the string file size. Converting strings to integers is avoidable overhead. We can't store filenames with newlines (manifests have this limitation as well, so it isn't a major concern). But the big concern here is the necessity for readline(). Scanning for newlines means reading ahead and that means extra buffer allocations and slicing (in Python) and this makes performance suffer. 3) Filenames aren't compressed optimally. Filenames should be compressed well since there is a lot of repeated data. However, since they are scattered all over the stream (with revlog data in between), they typically fall outside the window size of the compressor and don't compress. 4) It can only exchange stored based content, being able to exchange caches too would be nice. 5) It is limited to a stream-based protocol and isn't suitable for an on-disk format for general repository reading because the offset of individual file entries requires scanning the entire file to find file records. As part of enabling streaming clones to work in bundle2, #2 proved to have a significant negative impact on performance. Since bundle2 provides the opportunity to start fresh, Gregory Szorc figured he would take the opportunity to invent a new streaming clone data format. The new format devised in this series addresses #1, #2, and #4. It punts on #3 because it was complex without yielding a significant gain and on #5 because devising a new store format that "packs" multiple revlogs into a single "packed revlog" is massive scope bloat. However, this v2 format might be suitable for streaming into a "packed revlog" with minimal processing. If it works, great. If not, we can always invent stream format when it is needed. This patch only introduces the bases of the format. We'll get it usable through bundle2 first, then we'll extend the format in future patches to bring it to its full potential (especially #4).

HG
Path to the 'hg' executable, automatically passed when running
hooks, extensions or external tools. If unset or empty, this is
the hg executable's name if it's frozen, or an executable named
'hg' (with %PATHEXT% [defaulting to COM/EXE/BAT/CMD] extensions on
Windows) is searched.
HGEDITOR
This is the name of the editor to run when committing. See EDITOR.
(deprecated, see :hg:`help config.ui.editor`)
HGENCODING
This overrides the default locale setting detected by Mercurial.
This setting is used to convert data including usernames,
changeset descriptions, tag names, and branches. This setting can
be overridden with the --encoding command-line option.
HGENCODINGMODE
This sets Mercurial's behavior for handling unknown characters
while transcoding user input. The default is "strict", which
causes Mercurial to abort if it can't map a character. Other
settings include "replace", which replaces unknown characters, and
"ignore", which drops them. This setting can be overridden with
the --encodingmode command-line option.
HGENCODINGAMBIGUOUS
This sets Mercurial's behavior for handling characters with
"ambiguous" widths like accented Latin characters with East Asian
fonts. By default, Mercurial assumes ambiguous characters are
narrow, set this variable to "wide" if such characters cause
formatting problems.
HGMERGE
An executable to use for resolving merge conflicts. The program
will be executed with three arguments: local file, remote file,
ancestor file.
(deprecated, see :hg:`help config.ui.merge`)
HGRCPATH
A list of files or directories to search for configuration
files. Item separator is ":" on Unix, ";" on Windows. If HGRCPATH
is not set, platform default search path is used. If empty, only
the .hg/hgrc from the current repository is read.
For each element in HGRCPATH:
- if it's a directory, all files ending with .rc are added
- otherwise, the file itself will be added
HGPLAIN
When set, this disables any configuration settings that might
change Mercurial's default output. This includes encoding,
defaults, verbose mode, debug mode, quiet mode, tracebacks, and
localization. This can be useful when scripting against Mercurial
in the face of existing user configuration.
In addition to the features disabled by ``HGPLAIN=``, the following
values can be specified to adjust behavior:
``+strictflags``
Restrict parsing of command line flags.
Equivalent options set via command line flags or environment
variables are not overridden.
See :hg:`help scripting` for details.
HGPLAINEXCEPT
This is a comma-separated list of features to preserve when
HGPLAIN is enabled. Currently the following values are supported:
``alias``
Don't remove aliases.
``color``
Don't disable colored output.
``i18n``
Preserve internationalization.
``revsetalias``
Don't remove revset aliases.
``templatealias``
Don't remove template aliases.
``progress``
Don't hide progress output.
Setting HGPLAINEXCEPT to anything (even an empty string) will
enable plain mode.
HGUSER
This is the string used as the author of a commit. If not set,
available values will be considered in this order:
- HGUSER (deprecated)
- configuration files from the HGRCPATH
- EMAIL
- interactive prompt
- LOGNAME (with ``@hostname`` appended)
(deprecated, see :hg:`help config.ui.username`)
EMAIL
May be used as the author of a commit; see HGUSER.
LOGNAME
May be used as the author of a commit; see HGUSER.
VISUAL
This is the name of the editor to use when committing. See EDITOR.
EDITOR
Sometimes Mercurial needs to open a text file in an editor for a
user to modify, for example when writing commit messages. The
editor it uses is determined by looking at the environment
variables HGEDITOR, VISUAL and EDITOR, in that order. The first
non-empty one is chosen. If all of them are empty, the editor
defaults to 'vi'.
PYTHONPATH
This is used by Python to find imported modules and may need to be
set appropriately if this Mercurial is not installed system-wide.
