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.

obshash: properly cache obshash value The code was buggy and only cached non-nullid/non-inherited value. This was previous hidden because we were using a 'propertycache' to cache the value on the range object. This fixes it and restore a lot of performance.

stablerange: directly use 'self' when possible Code movement introduced multiple silly case were we where accessing 'self' though 'repo.stablerange' for no good reasons.

revsfromrange: set the cache for the multiple bottom ranges in merge slicing We no longer rely on the object magic here.

revsfromrange: set the cache for the single bottom range in merge slicing We no longer rely on the object magic here.

revsfromrange: set the cache for the top range in merge slicing We no longer rely on the object magic here.

revsfromrange: remove reference to '_revs' in merge slicing Given '_revs' is a property from the cache, we use the official method of the object we are on instead. That method should be using the same cache than the property if available.

revsfromcache: update cache for the top slice if possible Same logic, we update the cache if have the data.

revsfromrange: skip setting the cache for length-1 top entry The content of the range is trivial to compute.

revsfromrange: update cache for parentrange directly in the code We update it where it matters if we detect that we have the data.

revsfromramge: hard code the single changeset range case That case is trivial and triggering and full stable sort for it seems a bit silly.

stablerange: introduce caching for the full revision in a set Such cache proved handy in the "per-range" class so we carry it along to the unified class. cf documentation for details.

stablerange: add a cache for stablesort ordering This will be very handy for merge, cf inline documentation for details.

stablerange: move revs computation within the main class We still need to compute the revision withing a range when we slice a merge. This is the last large logic that remains in the individual class and we migrate is on the main class.

stablerange: minor method reorders on the main class We put the public method first for clarify.

stablerange: drop "key" and "id" logic form the class We can restrict to the bare minimun for equality and hashing now.

stablerange: drop length from the class There is not remaining user.

stablerange: drop _depth Nothing uses it anymore.

stablerange: drop __repr__ IT was used for debug and the class is on it way out.

stablerange: drop the subranges method on the small class Nobody use it anymore.

stablerange: use subranges from the main class in subrangesclosure This is the last method used on the class.

stablerange: use subranges from the main class in _obshashrange This is the last method used on the class.

stablerange: use subranges from the main class in findrangemissing This is the last method used on the class.

stablerange: make sure nobody use '.depth' anymore

stablerange: use depthrevs in range slicing We stop using the property from the class to get us closer to tuple.

stablerange: use depthrevs in debugstablerange We stop using the property from the class to get us closer to tuple.
