revlog-compression: update the config to be a list
ClosedPublic

Authored by marmoute on Feb 25 2020, 5:15 AM.

Details

Summary

format.revlog-compression is now a list of engine, the first supported one is to
be used. Doing this have several benefits:

  1. this is fully backward compatible, config using a single entry will be read

as a single item list, not changing any behavior.

  1. This open the way to use zstd by default without impacting platform were it

is not available. This will be done in a later changesets.

Using zstd provide a significant performance boost explained in : bb271ec2fbfb.
However zstd is not available in some cases, A notable example is the --pure
version of Mercurial which doesn't come with zstd support.

Nit: It might help readability (especially with a list) if the engines were delimited with quotes or parenthesis or something. It's mostly obvious here, but not if it's in a config file. (And actually, I missed that "unknown" was used above, and thought it was an awkward sentence at first.)
