phases: keep internal state as rev-num instead of node-id Node-id are expensive to work with, dealing with revision is much simple and faster. The fact we still used node-id here shows how few effort have been put into making the phase logic fast. We tend to no longer use node-id internally for about ten years. This has a large impact of repository with many draft roots. For example this Mozilla-try copy have ½ Million draft roots and `perf::unbundle` see a significant improvement. ### data-env-vars.name = mozilla-try-2023-03-22-zstd-sparse-revlog # benchmark.name = hg.perf.perf-unbundle # bin-env-vars.hg.flavor = no-rust # bin-env-vars.hg.py-re2-module = default # benchmark.variants.issue6528 = disabled # benchmark.variants.revs = last-1 before:: 1.746791 seconds after:: 1.278379 seconds (-26.82%) # benchmark.variants.revs = last-10 before:: 3.145774 seconds after:: 2.103735 seconds (-33.13%) # benchmark.variants.revs = last-100 before:: 3.487635 seconds after:: 2.446749 seconds (-29.85%) # benchmark.variants.revs = last-1000 before:: 5.007568 seconds after:: 3.989923 seconds (-20.32%)

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.
