getbundle was requesting the "phase" namespace instead of the "phases"
namespace, which led to the client still requesting the phases
separately after getbundle finished.
Closing files that have been appended to is slow on Windows/NTFS.
CloseHandle() calls on this platform often take 1-10ms - and that's
on my i7-6700K Skylake processor with a modern and fast SSD. Contrast
with other I/O operations, such as writing data, which take <100us.
This means that creating/appending thousands of files can add
significant overhead. For example, cloning mozilla-central creates
~232,000 revlog files. Assuming 1ms per CloseHandle(), that yields
232s (3:52) of wall time waiting for file closes!
The impact of this overhead can be measured most directly when applying
stream clone bundles. Applying these files is effectively uncompressing
a tar archive (read: it's very fast).
Using a RAM disk (read: no I/O wait), the difference in wall time for a
`hg debugapplystreamclonebundle` for a ~1731 MB mozilla-central bundle
between Windows and Linux from the same machine is drastic:
Linux: ~12.8s (128MB/s)
Windows: ~352.0s (4.7MB/s)
Windows is ~27.5x slower. Yikes!
After this patch:
Linux: ~12.8s (128MB/s)
Windows: ~102.1s (16.1MB/s)
Windows is now ~3.4x faster. Unfortunately, it is still ~8x slower than
Linux. Profiling reveals a few hot code paths that could likely be
improved. But those are for other patches.
This patch introduces test-clone-uncompressed.t because existing tests
of `clone --uncompressed` are scattered about and adding a variation for
background thread closing to e.g. test-http.t doesn't feel correct.
