Fix cold cache diff performance cold cache diff performance has regressed in two ways. localrepo.changes has optimizations for diffing against the working dir parent that expect node1 to be None. commands.revpair() usage means that commands.dodiff() never sends node1 == None. This is fixed in localrepo.changes by checking against the dirstate parents. In the non-dirstate parents case, localrepo.changes does a loop comparing files without first sorting the file names, leading to random access across the disk.

A simple testing framework

To run the tests, do:

cd tests/
python run-tests.py

This finds all scripts in the test directory named test-* and executes
them. The scripts can be either shell scripts or Python. Each test is
run in a temporary directory that is removed when the test is complete.

A test-<x> succeeds if the script returns success and its output
matches test-<x>.out. If the new output doesn't match, it is stored in
test-<x>.err.

There are some tricky points here that you should be aware of when
writing tests:

- hg commit and hg merge want user interaction

  for commit use -m "text"
  for hg merge, set HGMERGE to something noninteractive (like true or merge)

- changeset hashes will change based on user and date which make
  things like hg history output change

  use commit -m "test" -u test -d "1000000 0"

- diff will show the current time

  use hg diff | sed "s/\(\(---\|+++\) [a-zA-Z0-9_/.-]*\).*/\1/" to strip
  dates
