Before this patch, immediate value is assigned to dirstate._cwd, if
ui.forcecwd is specified at instantiation of dirstate.
But this doesn't work as expected in some cases.
For example, hgweb set ui.forcecwd after instantiation of repo object.
If an extension touches repo.dirstate in its reposetup(), dirstate is
instantiated without setting ui.forcecwd, and dirstate.getcwd()
returns incorrect result.
In addition to it, hgweb.__init__() can take already instantiated repo
object, too. In this case, repo.dirstate might be already
instantiated, even if all enabled extensions don't so in their own
reposetup().
To avoid such issue, this patch centralizes _cwd handling into _cwd
method.
This issue can be reproduced by running test-hgweb-commands.t with
fsmonitor-run-tests.py.
Repository cloned-bookmark-default and tobundle exist in the working
directory of main test repository "repo". We should take care for
them, because it is known issue that fsmonitor can't handle nested
repositories.
These nested repositories are cloned from "repo", and the number of
unknown files = files in these repositories (including files under
.hg) will be changed easily in the future. But testing with fsmonitor
is not ordinary.
Therefore, test-bookmarks.t with fsmonitor might be broken silently.
This is reason why this patch uses "(glob)" for the number of unknown
files in "hg summary" output.
BTW, this patch doesn't use .hgignore to make test portable, because
.hgignore might cause another issue related to "walk_on_invalidate"
configuration of fsmonitor.
The general delta heuristic to select a delta do not scale with the number of
branch. The delta base is frequently too far away to be able to reuse a chain
according to the "distance" criteria. This leads to insertion of larger delta (or
even full text) that themselves push the bases for the next delta further away
leading to more large deltas and full texts. This full text and frequent
recomputation throw Mercurial performance in disarray.
For example of a slightly large repository
280 000 files (2 150 000 versions)
430 000 changesets (10 000 topological heads)
Number below compares repository with and without the distance criteria:
manifest size:
with: 21.4 GB
without: 0.3 GB
store size:
with: 28.7 GB
without 7.4 GB

unbundle time (of the last 15K revisions):

Similar issues has been observed in other repositories.
Adding a new option or "feature" on stable is uncommon. However, given that this
issues is making Mercurial practically unusable, I'm exceptionally targeting
this patch for stable.
What is actually needed is a full rework of the delta building and reading
logic. However, that will be a longer process and churn not suitable for stable.
In the meantime, we introduces a quick and dirty mitigation of this in the
'experimental' config space. The new option introduces a way to set the maximum
amount of memory usable to store a diff in memory. This extend the ability for
Mercurial to create chains without removing all safe guard regarding memory
access. The option should be phased out when core has a more proper solution
available.
Setting the limit to '0' remove all limits, setting it to '-1' use the default
limit (textsize x 4).
The 4.2 release introduces a regression regarding the behavior of rebase with
some hook failures. We add the tests from the bug report from Henrik Stuart to
our test base to prevent further regression on this.
Having a single transaction for rebase means the whole transaction gets rolled back
on error. To work around this a small hack has been added to detect merge
conflict and commit the work done so far before exiting. This hack works because
there is nothing transaction related going on during the merge phase.
However, if a hook blocks the rebase to create a changeset, it is too late to commit the
work done in the transaction before the problematic changeset was created. This
leads to the whole rebase so far being rolled back. Losing merge resolution and
other work in the process. (note: rebase state will be fully lost too).
Since issue5610 is a pretty serious regression and the next stable release is a
couple day away, we are taking the backout route until we can figure out
something better to do.
In the process of fixing issue5610 in 4.2.2, we are trying to backout
507f16f4aa51. This changeset is making changes that depend on 507f16f4aa51,
so we need to back it out first.

The bundled hg should work flawlessly in most cases. Make it depend on
the external installation only if necessary since we can't control the
whole environment.
This patch doesn't implement the "exit 80" idea proposed by Jun. I don't
want to keep the capability checking sync with the actual tests.
Since os.environ may be overridden in run-tests.py, several important
variables such as PATH weren't restored.
I don't like the idea of using the system hg *by default* because the
executable and the configs are out of our control. But I don't mind as
long as the tests pass.
