Before, we would sometimes use the default iterator over large files. That
iterator is line based and would add extra buffering and use odd chunk sizes
which could give some overhead.
copyandhash can't just apply a filechunkiter as it sometimes is passed a
genuine generator when downloading remotely.
Problem was files to check were gathered in the repository where
the verify was launched but verification was done on the remote
store. It was observed when user committed in cloned repository
and ran verify before pushing - committed files were marked
as non existing.
This commit fixes this by checking in the remote store only files
that are not existing in the repository store where verify was launched.
Solution is similiar to 909b9d8f9ae7
Especially the "no default or default-push path set in hgrc" was often very
misleading and didn't give any hint where it actually was looking.
A long error messages is better than several multi-line messages.
This introduces a peer method into all repository classes, which currently
simply returns self. It also changes hg.repository so it now raises an
exception if the supplied paths does not resolve to a localrepo or descendant.
Finally, all call sites are changed to use the peer and local methods as
appropriate, where peer is used whenever the code is dealing with a remote
repository (even if it's on local disk).
The original intent was that the largefiles would primarily be in the
repository, with the global cache being only that--a cache. The naming
conventions and actual intent have both strayed. In this first patch, the
naming conventions are switched to match the actual intent, as are the
configuration options.
- fix some ungrammatical/unclear/incorrect comments/docstrings
- rewrite some really unclear comments/docstrings
- make formatting/style more consistent with the rest of Mercurial
(lowercase without period unless it's really multiple sentences)
- wrap to 75 columns
- always say "largefile(s)", not "lfile(s)" (or "big files")
- one space between sentences, not two
