wireprotov2peer: stream decoded responses...
wireprotov2peer: stream decoded responses Previously, wire protocol version 2 would buffer all response data. Only once all data was received did we CBOR decode it and resolve the future associated with the command. This was obviously not desirable. In future commits that introduce large response payloads, this caused significant memory bloat and slowed down client operations due to waiting on the server. This commit refactors the response handling code so that response data can be streamed. Command response objects now contain a buffered CBOR decoder. As new data arrives, it is fed into the decoder. Decoded objects are made available to the generator as they are decoded. Because there is a separate thread processing incoming frames and feeding data into the response object, there is the potential for race conditions when mutating response objects. So a lock has been added to guard access to critical state variables. Because the generator emitting decoded objects needs to wait on those objects to become available, we've added an Event for the generator to wait on so it doesn't busy loop. This does mean there is the potential for deadlocks. And I'm pretty sure they can occur in some scenarios. We already have a handful of TODOs around this. But I've added some more. Fixing this will likely require moving the background thread receiving frames into clienthandler. We likely would have done this anyway when implementing the client bits for the SSH transport. Test output changes because the initial CBOR map holding the overall response state is now always handled internally by the response object.

Mercurial for Plan 9 from Bell Labs
===================================

This directory contains support for Mercurial on Plan 9 from Bell Labs
platforms. It is assumed that the version of Python running on these
systems supports the ANSI/POSIX Environment (APE). At the time of this
writing, the bichued/python port is the most commonly installed version
of Python on these platforms. If a native port of Python is ever made,
some minor modification will need to be made to support some of the more
esoteric requirements of the platform rather than those currently made
(cf. posix.py).

By default, installations will have the factotum extension enabled; this
extension permits factotum(4) to act as an authentication agent for
HTTP repositories. Additionally, an extdiff command named 9diff is
enabled which generates diff(1) compatible output suitable for use with
the plumber(4).

Commit messages are plumbed using E if no editor is defined; users must
update the plumbed file to continue, otherwise the hg process must be
interrupted.

Some work remains with regard to documentation. Section 5 manual page
references for hgignore and hgrc need to be re-numbered to section 6 (file
formats) and a new man page writer should be written to support the
Plan 9 man macro set. Until these issues can be resolved, manual pages
are elided from the installation.

Basic install:

% mk install # do a system-wide install
% hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
% hg # see help

A proto(2) file is included in this directory as an example of how a
binary distribution could be packaged, ostensibly with contrib(1).

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
