If a buffer of an mutable object is passed to revlog.addrevision(), the revlog
will happily store it in its cache. Later when the revlog reuses the cached
entry, if the manifest modified the object in-between, all kind of bugs
appears.
We fix it by:
- passing immutable objects to addrevision() if they are already available
- only storing the text in the cache if it's of str type
Then we can remove the conversion of the cache entry to str() during
retrieval. That was probably just there hiding the bug for the common cases
but not really fixing it.
No need to copy the dict, dict.__init__() will do that for us.
It was responsible for a non-negligeable waste of time during a qpush of an
-mm queue on the kernel repo.
Include the offending filenames in the error message. Now this error message
is consistent with the same error issued by dirstate.py (although there is
still duplicate code).
- create error.py for exception classes to reduce demandloading
- move revlog exceptions to it
- change users to import error and drop revlog import if possible
add _checklink var to dirstate
introduce dirstate.flagfunc
switch users of util.execfunc/linkfunc to flagfunc
change manifestdict.set to take a flags string
change ctx.fileflags to ctx.flags
change gitmode func to a dict
remove util.execfunc/linkfunc
This gets rid of the need to track two objects and might save memory.
This might be faster implemented as a subclassed dict with auxiliary
functions to access a sparse flags dict.
old code read every head of .hgtags. delete and recreate of .hgtags gave
new head, but if error in deleted rev, .hgtags had error messages every
time it was parsed. this was very hard to fix, because deleted revs hard
to get back and update, needed merges too.
new code reads .hgtags on every head. advantage is if parse error
happens with new code, is possible to fix them by editing .hgtags on a
head and committing.
NOTE: new code uses binary search of manifest of each head to be fast,
but still much slower than old code. best thing would be to have delete
record stored in filelog so we never touch manifest. could find live
heads directly from filelog. this is more work than i want now.
new tests check for parse of tags on different heads, and inaccessible
heads created by delete and recreate of .hgtags.
revlogng results in smaller indexes, can address larger data files, and
supports flags and version numbers.
By default the original revlog format is used. To use the new format,
use the following .hgrc field:
[revlog]
# format choices are 0 (classic revlog format) and 1 revlogng
format=1
