storageutil: extract most of emitrevisions() to standalone function
ClosedPublic

Summary

As part of implementing a storage backend, I found myself copying
most of revlog.emitrevisions(). This code is highly nuanced and it
bothered me greatly to be copying such low-level code.

This commit extracts the bulk of revlog.emitrevisions() into a
new standalone function. In order to make the function generally
usable, all "self" function calls that aren't exposed on the
ifilestorage interface are passed in via callable arguments.

No meaningful behavior should have changed as part of the port.

Upcoming commits will tweak behavior to make the code more
generically usable.

This is a huge step backwards for remotefilelog and friends: it's all defined in terms of revs, whereas emitrevisions (as copypasta-inducing as it was) was in terms of nodes. We need to do better.

Oh, I just got to D4805. I think the helper is still of somewhat limited utility and truly novel storage engines will end up totally reimplementing emitrevisions, but that's fine.

This revision was automatically updated to reflect the committed changes.

FWIW I would like to rewrite all of filelog (and this API) to be in terms of nodes. My hands are somewhat tied with this function due to how all the functions are implemented in terms of revs today. We'll get there eventually...
