split: add a test demonstrating that split doesn't take the right branch Also add a test to check that the dirstate is in the right state in case the user abort the split.

stablerange: compute the subrange closure on an unfiltered repository This avoid various overhead from filtering.

stablesort: write a flat version of the algorithm This new version never needs to iterate over the full repository even when merge are encountered. Having the algorithm flat also prepare caching works since the iteration sequence can we expressed with a couple of flat loop.

stablesort: simplify processing of non-merge changesets As long as a changeset as only one parent, the next element in the sort (starting from the head) has to be that parent. We detect and take advantage of that shortcut in the non-merge case.

stablesort: extract a '_revsfrom' method Walking from the revision is usually simple unless the revision is a merge. Having this walking logic isolated will help us refine it.

stablerange: use the new cache object in the 'mergepoint' version Every improvement to the cache should reflect on the stable range from there. Since we no longer use the basic sort function, we can simplify the inheritance by dropping one layer.

stablesort: introduce a cache object The object is not caching anything yet, but the API are getting into place.

stablesort: start implementing more advanced version of headstart sorting Now that we can validate the sort with a basic implementation, we can start implementing a version that will support caching and other goodies.

stablerange: make use of the limit argument in 'mergepoint' This will eventually avoid doing full iteration on ancestors of the head when retrieving the range content.

stablerange: introduce a smarte version of stablerange for 'mergepoint' This implementation will using caching and smarter algorithm based on these cache. For now it inherit most of it code from the dummy version for convenience. The inheritance to the dummy version should be dropped eventually.

stablerange: introduce an intermediary abstract class for caching The 'branchpoint' and 'mergepoint' based stablerange class will need similar cache, we introduce an abstract class to take care of that first.

stablerange: introduce a basic-mergepoint method This method use the new 'mergepoint' based stable sorting. It is expected to be eventually better than branch point to stable range: more stable, easier to cache, etc. Having a basic implementation will allow use to validate more advanced implementation.

stablesort: add a new test to check for fully independant branches Apparently, this was not covered.

stablesort: add a --limit argument This will be useful when using stable sort within stable range.

stablesort: introduce a mergepoint based method focused on head The things we needs for stable range is head centric. So we simplify the issue by focussing on head.

stablesort: introduce a "mergepoint" method The mergepoint method decide order from merge. This allow to directly reuse a the full sort of one of the parent, and should simplify caching.

stablerange: fallback to a more naive approach to find subrange As suspected, using "bheads" was bit good enough in some case and we have to fall back to the approach used in "basic". On the evolve repo (about 3K changeset) this approach is about 60% slower than the previous (wrong) code.

stablebranch: avoid overlap between subrange Subrange overlap make things more complicated and less efficient. We fix the computation done in the "cached" version of the stablerange cache. This bring things in line with the result produced by the basic version. Since we already bumped the format version since the last release, I don't things we need to do anything else.

stablerange: introduce an 'basicstablerange' This class hold all the basic of stable range but the part specific to the sorting. This allow to clearly express what is expected from each method and to generate tests output to be validated against the more complex implementation. While writing this, we spotted a bug in the current stable range implementation. Fix coming.

stablerange: extract the core API into a 'stablerangecore' class To clarify what the code is doing without all the caching and algorithmic improvement, we extract a core class that highlight the basic API expected from the class.

stable-branch: setup tests to use a specific method by default This will make future test simpler.

stablerange: rework the debug command to allow for multiple method Similar to what we did for the other debug command related to sorting, we prepare for the arrival of multiple method to produce the result (including simple implementation that are easy to read but do not scale).

deptcache: make sure we warm the dept cache before warming the obsdiscovery The depthcache need to a warmed a bit more agressively

stablesort: add a 'method' argument to the debugstablesort command Let start experimenting with other way to do stable sorting.

stablesort: rename function to stablesort_branchpoint We are about to test different approach to stable sorting. We clarify that the existing method is sorting from branch points.

stablerange: update the filename to avoid cache confusion The schema validation seems to not work as well as intended, we update the file name to make sure there will be no confusion.

stablesort: extract in its own module We are going to introduce variants, cache and more complex logic, we move that in its own repository beforehand.

compat: in depth cache, only use cachevfs when available We support older version without the new vfs.

depthcache: issue a progress bar when loading the depth cache The operation can be in the minute order of magnitude of some larger repository. We better keep the user entertain when he wait.

depthcache: move to a dedicated object and storage The SQL cache was overkill and fragile. We move to a dedicated storage using the new generic class.

cache: adds debug details about what the content of the update Having more data in debug is good, we add a small method to help providing them. This code was headed for core during the 4.3 cycle but never made it there. So we starts with a copy in the evolve repository.

cache: introduce a changelogsourcebase class This abstract class will help code that need a cache tracking the changelog content (eg: the branchmap cache). The cache key used is the same as what the branchmap uses. This code was headed for core during the 4.3 cycle but never made it there. So we starts with a copy in the evolve repository.
