I don't understand this change. We already support none as compression method.

This is to read in the context of https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10646

Right now the compression information are "inline", each chunk starts with a byte that indicate the compression mode. One idea floating around for a while was to move more compression information in the index header to allow more streamlined handling of the chunk. (that would mostly matter for compiled language) This changeset is part of a series doing that.

I just pushed an update to the documentation of the constant to highlight that a bit. phabricator will be updated once the CI ran.
