revset_graph: group commits topologically
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The original idea was similar to Mercurial's "topo" sorting, but it was bad
at handling merge-heavy history. In order to render merges of topic branches
nicely, we need to prioritize branches at merge point, not at fork point.
OTOH, we do also want to place unmerged branches as close to the fork point
as possible. This commit implements the former requirement, and the latter
will be addressed by the next commit.

I think this is similar to Git's sorting logic described in the following blog
post. In our case, the in-degree walk can be dumb since topological order is
guaranteed by the index. We keep HashSet<CommitId> instead of an in-degree
integer value, which will be used in the next commit to resolve new heads as
late as possible.

Compared to Sapling's beautify_graph(), this is lazy, and can roughly preserve
the index (or chronological) order. I tried beautify_graph() with prioritizing
the @ commit, but the result seemed too aggressively reordered. Perhaps, for
more complex history, beautify_graph() would produce a better result. For my
wip branches (~30 branches, a couple of commits per branch), this works pretty
well.
