dirstate walking optimizations The repo walking code introduces a number of calls to dirstate.map.copy(), significantly slowing down the walk on large trees. When a list of files is passed to the walking code, we should only look at map entries relevant to the file list passed in. dirstate.filterfiles() is added to return a subset of the dirstate map. The subset includes in files passed in, and if one of the files requested is actually a directory, it includes any files inside that directory tree. This brings the time for hg diff Makefile down from 1.7s to .3s on a linux kernel repo. Also, the diff command was unconditionally calling makewalk, leading to an extra pass through repo.changes. This patch avoids the call to makewalk when commands.diff isn't given a list of patterns, cutting the time for hg diff (with no args) in half.
