depth: add a utility function to set the cache This is preparing on disk persistence for the value in this cache.

depth: add a utility function to access the cache This is preparing on disk persistence for the value in this cache.

stablerange: add warming of the subrange Note that this means we build standard stable subrange for all changesets in the repository this is significantly more than what we were computing before and result is significantly more ranges being computed.

stablerange: fix merge slicing when range has multiple roots The first element in the bottom set is not necessarly the one with the lowest revision. We now properly compute and use the minimum value.

stablerange: small style fix

merge-slicing: introduce and use "inheritance point" for merge The first part of the stable sorted list of revision of a merge will shared with the one of others. This means we can reuse subranges computed from that point to compute some of the subranges from the merge. That point is latest point in the stable sorted list where the depth of the revisions match its index (that means all revision earlier in the stable sorted list are its ancestors, no dangling unrelated branches exists). This is a bit expensive to find since we have to walk all the revision, but being able to reuse subranges in all case (not just regular changesets) provide a massive speedup so the cost is worth it.

stablerange: rearrange the code picking subrange to warm Same logic, as the previous changesets, we prepare the code before adding merge support.

stablerange: rearrange the reusing logic to prepare to merge We'll soon be able to reuse some lower range when dealing with merge too. So we prepare the code for this in advance for clarity.

merge-slicing: explain an alternative implementation in a comments It has a better time complexity so a C implementation would likely out perform the current implementation

merge-slicing: use reachable roots to filter the various branches Reachable roots does what we want and have a quite fast C implementation.

merge-slicing: simplify various aspect of the code Especially the case were the bottom have single heads is not more efficiently handled.

stablerange: soon it will not provide any benefit and it gets in the way This was a bit strange and memory consuming anyway.

revsfromrange: reuse information from the stablesort We collaborate with the stablesort to store the order that led to a merge. That way, when we needs to retrieve revision from that merge we can reuse that order. We might need to filter to only retains ancestors of the merge we care about but skipping the stablesort safe a large amount of time.

stablesort: allow a callback to be triggered on merge Storing some information as we sort is going to be useful to avoid performing multiple sort while computing the stablerange.

minor simplification around rangelength

more explicite name in revsfromrange

stablerange: cache parents We happens to be doing and awful amount of parent call. We cache them locally for efficiency.

merge-slicing: avoid doing the same work twice We have already computed the list of revision in that bottom slice as 'hrevs' so we do not need to compute it a second time.

stablerange: fix a bug when a top slice ended on a merge Our "smart" detection of merge was buggy if the top slice ended on a merge. This is not fixed and tested.

slicesrangeat: stop double setting the revsinranges cache The cache should have already been filled by the logic warming the cache for the parent.

subranges: remove the recursivity of the call to isubranges(parentrange) We add some logic to ensure we'll have hot cache for the parent ranges when that matters, the cache is filled from ancestors to descendant to ensure this. The range are still 'created from descendant to ancestors to fill the revsfromrange cache since it important.

subranges: detach cache logic from computation logic Having both the logic around cache checking and setting makes is a bit harder to follow. In addition, this allow to gather the computation logic next to the other related function.

findmissingrange: properly queue new subrange for slicing The previous code was buggy and used the wrong variable leading to no extra slicing being performed to file the sample at the requested size.

findmissingrange: fix reversed value in debug output "oops"

stablecache: warmup on unfiltered repository We only looks at ancestors revision so filtering will not have any effect. This reduce overhead from the filtering.

stablerange: rename the class This is much more than just a cache now.

stablerange: do not inherit from dict This seems like and old cargo cult that when unnoticed.

stablerange: move a utility function around It make more sense to have this small function earlier in the series

stablerange: remove the now unused individual range class That class is now longer necessary, we dropped its usage for performance reason.

stablerange: directly use tuple to refer to a stable range Now that all advance logic lives in the unified class we no longer needs the individual class. Creating and operating on this cache introduce a significant overhead that we can not stop having. From now on, a range a is pair tuple '(headrev, index)'. Long live the tuple.
