depthcache: cleanup the update logic

changelog: add an entry about the obshashrange changes

stablerange: be more cautious when deleting the sql connection This triggered some crash in further development. This also match what is done elsewhere with this attribute.

stablerange: clarify sql transaction logic This should help concurrent access.

stablerange: use mergepoint based algorithm for the official stable range Changing the official stable range will impact all users of the infrastructure. We update version number of the cache file and discovery methods to clarify this. We do no keep compatibility with the old method over the wire. The new algorithm is much better and keeping compat is more work than we have time for right now.

stablerange: explicitly create a stablerange entry for branchpoint method We are about to change the default.

stablerange: have a mergepoint based sql backed class Everything is so generic that getting a class is 3 line of codes.

stablerange: introduce a sql backed version of the generic on disk cache This is getting use close to actually using the new sorting and algorithm for real.

stablerange: add a base class for on disk stored stablerange class

stablesort: use on disk cache for test

caches: factorise the cache warming check The old conditional was duplicated and hard to read. We factorise everything into the `utility` module.

stablerange: use repo-carried stablesortcache That one is common to all and disk persisted

stablesort: expose the cache through the repository Let have a unique instance, keep it warm and accessible.

stablesort: implement an ondisk cache Persisting the cache on disk will be important for large repositories.

stablesort: realign a misaligned continue We should make a better use of the jump cache now.

stablesort: remove some dead code This closure is no longer in use.

stablesort: abstract all cache access This prepare an on disk version of the cache

stablerange: use first merge cache to skip over linear section If we are to skip over a large section of the range, skipping everything until the first merge seems like a good idea.

stablerange: add a new 'firstmerge' cache This cache store the first merge ancestors of a changesets. This is useful to avoid iteration over the changelog when building stablerange.

stablerange: drop unused `until` utility We no longer needs this function.

stablerange: use cached size data instead of walking the graph Less iteration is better.

stablesort: record previous segment size in the jump That was, we can skip over a full jump without walking it. We'll make use of this in the next changeset.

stablesort: move jump recording inside the exclusive function This will allow use to record to cache size of segment in a later changeset. If the exclusive set is empty, we need to record it outside that function.

stablerange: compute jump size after jump retrieval only This prepares the caching of jump sizes.

stablesort: warm jump cache more efficiently We no longer for a full depth iteration for all request: - we exit early for non-merge, - for merge, we only iterate over the exclusive area.

stablesort: use a regular dict for jumps This will help knowing what revision we have already queried or not.

stablerange: use the jump information for faster iteration Instead of doing a full iteration over the exclusive set, we compare the jump information instead. This perform the same kind of logic than before but will allow for much faster iteration once all the caches are in place.

stablesort: expose the jumps sequence to other code The stable range needs it to build exclusive subrange efficiently.

stablesort: use 'depth' in mergepoint tie breaker The parents with the most depth will is considered lower. It has a couple of advantages. 1) the more shallow parent probably have less exclusive revision, 2) it makes Oedipus merge behave like close to the linear case,

stablesort: rework jump gathering The old code was buggy in some case, the new code give the same result as the 'headstart' version.

stablesort: stop recording jump type There are no mature user of this "jump type" data and the current implementation is known to be buggy. So we drop the logic for now. This will make on disk storage simpler. The data will be reintroduced later

stablesort: pass a jump recording function instead of a list This seems cleaner to abstract the underlying storage to the lower level. This also makes use more flexible about jump detection.
