Summary:
This flag allows the repo import to progress through all the steps
but bail before actually merging in the repos.
Currently the repo_import tool is so slow that all the pre-merge steps
can take hours. This makes it really hard to control when the actual merge
commit will happen. This flag will allow us to prepare all those steps
ahead-of-time and then resume with just merge in mind.
I don't think it's a proper long-term fix but I found it useful when working
wath whatsapp/biz and would use it again util we properly optimize repo_import
tool.

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 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 is omitting some functions.
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:
Support for running thrift based apis.
Production metadata SQL support (e.g. something like a MySQL backend). We provide sqlite in OSS for now.
Production blobstore storage backends (e.g. something like S3). We provide SQL (on sqlite) and File System backends currently in OSS.
Linux is Mononoke's primary target plaform with OSS CI also running on MacOS. Other Unix-like OSes may be supported in the future.
Subsystem Docs
Most of our documentation is in internal systems, however a few subsystems have in-repo markdown docs available:
