rebase: test default rebase destination behavior In future mercurial 3.8, rebase and merge share the same destination logic. So if merge work, rebase should work as well. However, we double test it to be sure. Especially, in 3.7 the logic is not shared so we have to introduce an extra hack to share it in this case.

topicmap: write and read format from disc To prevent too awful performance we allow writing and reading topicmap cache. This is done with a lot of code duplication from core because core is not extensible enough.

topicmap: ensure that 'served' view is updated with topicmap There is multiple place that explicitly update the 'served' branchmap to ensure it stay up to date. We ensure it use the proper topicmap in this case.

topicmap: move the monkey patching into a context manager There is a couple of other place doing branchmap/topicmap update (of the served set), we'll have to set the monkey patching for them. This changeset is just doing the move to a context manager to make sure it is correct.

push: hackish handeling of new branch head from phase move The current head checking mechanism is not expecting "head change" from phase movement. Topic allows that, changeset with a topic moving to public can create a new head. We introduce a hack to double check that no head were added at the transaction level to work around this.

push: allow pushing new topic to non-publishing server by default This improves and fix the behavior change introduced by the new "topicmap". * Topics are properly ignored when pushing to a publishing server, * pushing new topics is allowed without --force a non-publishing server, * Pushing extra heads on a topic requires --force. Create of new head on a branch by phase movement is not properly detected for now. We'll improve that part in a later changesets. There is more awful monkey patching going on. We'll have to refactor core to get rid of them.

topic: take topic in account for all branch head computation This changeset introduce a "topicmap" that is tracking not just the head of all branches, but the heads of all branch+topic pair. Including the head of the part of the branch without any topic. In practice this means that BRANCHNAME now resolve to the tipmost part for the branch without topic and impact various other logic like head checking during push and default destination for update and merge (these aspect will need adjustment in later changesets). The on-the-fly-temporary-monkey-patching process is pretty horrible, but allow to move forward without waiting on having core patched. We use 'branch:topic' as the branchmap key, this is a small and easy hack that help use a lot for (future) support of heads discovery/checking and on disc cache. I'm not sure it is worthwhile to improve this until an implementation into core. Note that this changeset change the branchmap in all cases, including during exchange, see next changeset for improved behavior. We also currently have the on-disk cache disabled because the core branchmap is lacking phase information in its cache key. This will get done in a later changesets
