This demonstrates a bug that results in a repo corruption any time a transaction is aborted that adds multiple revs of the same revlog while growing it beyond 128KiB.
I would have thought this affects most hg users, since none of the pre-conditions for this bug is very unique.
Probably this went unnoticed for such a long time simply because transactions are rarely aborted.
