copies: move from a copy on branchpoint to a copy on write approach...
copies: move from a copy on branchpoint to a copy on write approach Before this changes, any branch points results in a copy of the dictionary containing the copy information. This can be very costly for branchy history with few rename information. Instead, we take a "copy on write" approach. Copying the input data only when we are about to update them. In practice we where already doing the copying in half of these case (because `_chain` makes a copy), so we don't add a significant cost here even in the linear case. However the speed up in branchy case is very significant. Here are some timing on the pypy repository. revision: large amount; added files: large amount; rename small amount; c3b14617fbd7 9ba6ab77fd29 before: ! wall 1.399863 comb 1.400000 user 1.370000 sys 0.030000 (median of 10) after: ! wall 0.766453 comb 0.770000 user 0.750000 sys 0.020000 (median of 11) revision: large amount; added files: small amount; rename small amount; c3b14617fbd7 f650a9b140d2 before: ! wall 1.876748 comb 1.890000 user 1.870000 sys 0.020000 (median of 10) after: ! wall 1.167223 comb 1.170000 user 1.150000 sys 0.020000 (median of 10) revision: large amount; added files: large amount; rename large amount; 08ea3258278e d9fa043f30c0 before: ! wall 0.242457 comb 0.240000 user 0.240000 sys 0.000000 (median of 39) after: ! wall 0.211476 comb 0.210000 user 0.210000 sys 0.000000 (median of 45) revision: small amount; added files: large amount; rename large amount; df6f7a526b60 a83dc6a2d56f before: ! wall 0.013193 comb 0.020000 user 0.020000 sys 0.000000 (median of 224) after: ! wall 0.013290 comb 0.010000 user 0.010000 sys 0.000000 (median of 222) revision: small amount; added files: large amount; rename small amount; 4aa4e1f8e19a 169138063d63 before: ! wall 0.001673 comb 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys 0.000000 (median of 1000) after: ! wall 0.001677 comb 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys 0.000000 (median of 1000) revision: small amount; added files: small amount; rename small amount; 4bc173b045a6 964879152e2e before: ! wall 0.000119 comb 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys 0.000000 (median of 8023) after: ! wall 0.000119 comb 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys 0.000000 (median of 7997) revision: medium amount; added files: large amount; rename medium amount; c95f1ced15f2 2c68e87c3efe before: ! wall 0.201898 comb 0.210000 user 0.200000 sys 0.010000 (median of 48) after: ! wall 0.167415 comb 0.170000 user 0.160000 sys 0.010000 (median of 58) revision: medium amount; added files: medium amount; rename small amount; d343da0c55a8 d7746d32bf9d before: ! wall 0.036820 comb 0.040000 user 0.040000 sys 0.000000 (median of 100) after: ! wall 0.035797 comb 0.040000 user 0.040000 sys 0.000000 (median of 100) The extra cost in the linear case can be reclaimed later with some extra logic.

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.
