Summary

The cleanup method right now does not clean up all the directories that are
empty. This leads to a situation where we can have a large number of empty
directories for the next repack which is unnecessary. This commit removes all
the empty directories in the cache directory during the clean up.

Test Plan
  • Ran all the tests.
  • Removed about 220k empty directories from the local cache. Running time of hg repack --incremental went from 3-4s every time to around 5s for the first time (because of deleting the empty directories) and ~200 milliseconds every subsequent time. Note that there was nothing to repack during the repack operation.

isdir is a syscall. Instead of testing if root is a directory or not first (which is also subject to file system race condition - someone could replace that directory with a file really quickly), just call rmdir and handle its exception.

Nice observation! I have fixed that.

It still feels weird that both cleanup and _removeemptydirectories have os.listdir. Could it be recursive? Besides, I think there is no need to test true/false before calling rmdir since filesystem is racy.

osutil = mercurial.policy.importmod('osutil')

def tryrmdir(path):
    try:
        os.rmdir(path)
    except OSError:
        pass

def removeemptydirs(path):
    # osutil.listdir returns stat information which saves some rmdir/listdir syscalls.
    for name, mode in osutil.listdir(path):
        if stat.S_ISDIR(mode):
            removeemptydirs(os.path.join(path, name))
    tryrmdir(path)

@quark I think I have addressed most of your concerns. Also, the earlier code was potentially trying to remove empty directories from the whole cache. So, I have changed it a bit to only care for the repository in consideration.
