Each data entry ("chunk") in a revlog has a type based on the first
byte of the data. This type indicates how to interpret the data.

This seems like a useful thing to be able to query through a debug
command. So let's add that to `hg debugrevlog`.

This does make `hg debugrevlog` slightly slower, as it has to read
more than just the index. However, even on the mozilla-unified
manifest (which is ~200MB spread over ~350K revisions), this takes
<400ms.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
