util._matcher: speed up regexp matching.
In 4babaa52badf, Benoit made a change that substantially slows matching
when a big .hgignore file is in play, because it calls into the regexp
matching engine potentially hundreds of times per file to be matched.
I've partly rolled back his change, so that we only call into the matcher
once per file, but preserved the ability to report a meaningful error
message if there's a syntax error in the regexp.
#!/bin/sh
#
# Corrupt an hg repo with a pull started during an aborted commit
#
# Create two repos, so that one of them can pull from the other one.
hg init source
cd source
touch foo
hg add foo
hg ci -m 'add foo'
hg clone . ../corrupted
echo >> foo
hg ci -m 'change foo'
# Add a hook to wait 5 seconds and then abort the commit
cd ../corrupted
echo '[hooks]' >> .hg/hgrc
echo 'pretxncommit = sleep 5; exit 1' >> .hg/hgrc
# start a commit...
touch bar
hg add bar
hg ci -m 'add bar' &
# ... and start a pull while the commit is still running
sleep 1
hg pull ../source 2>/dev/null
# see what happened
