ui: log time spent blocked on stdio We use a wrapper around Mercurial at Facebook that logs key statistics (like elpased time) to our standard performance tooling. This is less useful than it could be, because we currently can't tell when a command is slow because we need to fix Mercurial versus when a command is slow because the user isn't interacting quickly. Teach Mercurial to log the time it spends blocked, so that our tooling can pick it up and submit it with the elapsed time - we can then do the math in our tooling to see if Mercurial is slow, or if the user simply failed to interact. Combining this with the command duration log means that we can ensure that we concentrate performance efforts on the things that bite Facebook users. The perfwrite microbenchmark shifts from: Linux: ! wall 3.213560 comb 0.410000 user 0.350000 sys 0.060000 (best of 4) Mac: ! wall 0.342325 comb 0.180000 user 0.110000 sys 0.070000 (best of 20) before this change to: ! wall 3.478070 comb 0.500000 user 0.420000 sys 0.080000 (best of 3) Mac: ! wall 0.218112 comb 0.220000 user 0.150000 sys 0.070000 (best of 15) showing a small hit in comb time, but firmly in the noise on wall time.

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.
