A new ancestor algorithm The old ancestor algorithm could get fooled into returning ancestors closer to root than it ought to. Hopefully this one, which strictly orders its search by distance from room, will be foolproof.

# transaction.py - simple journalling scheme for mercurial
#
# This transaction scheme is intended to gracefully handle program
# errors and interruptions. More serious failures like system crashes
# can be recovered with an fsck-like tool. As the whole repository is
# effectively log-structured, this should amount to simply truncating
# anything that isn't referenced in the changelog.
