Summary:
An extremely thin wrapper around existing APIs: just a way to create merge commits from the command line.
This is needed to make the merge strategy work:
```
C
|
M3
| \
. \
| \
M2 \
| \ \
. \ \
| \ \
M1 \ \
| \ \ \
. TM3 \ \
. / | |
. D3 (e7a8605e0d) TM2 |
. | / /
. D2 (33140b117c) TM1
. | /
. D1 (733961456f)
| |
| \
| DAG to merge
|
main DAG
```
When we're creating `M2` as a result of merge of `TM2` into the main DAG, some files are deleted in the `TM3` branch, but not deleted in the `TM2` branch. Executing merge by running `hg merge` causes these files to be absent in `M2`. To make Mercurial work, we would need to execute `hg revert` for each such file prior to `hg merge`. Bonsai merge semantics however just creates correct behavior for us. Let's therefore just expose a way to create bonsai merges via the `megarepotool`.

Mononoke is a next-generation server for the Mercurial source control
system, meant to scale up to accepting
thousands of commits every hour across millions of files. It is primarily
written in the Rust programming language.
Caveat Emptor
Mononoke is still in early stages of development. We are making it available now because we plan to
start making references to it from our other open source projects.
The version that we provide on GitHub does not build yet.
This is because the code is exported verbatim from an internal repository at Facebook, and
not all of the scaffolding from our internal repository can be easily extracted. The key areas
where we need to shore things up are:
Full support for a standard cargo build.
Open source replacements for Facebook-internal services (blob store, logging etc).
The current goal is to get Mononoke working on Linux. Other Unix-like OSes may
be supported in the future
