* Make ShaFile.__eq__ work when other is not a ShaFile. (Dave Borowitz)

* ObjectStore.get_graph_walker() now no longer yields the same

revision more than once. This has a significant improvement for

performance when wide revision graphs are involved.

(Jelmer Vernooij, #818168)

* Teach ReceivePackHandler how to read empty packs. (Dave Borowitz)

* Don't send a pack with duplicates of the same object. (Dave Borowitz)

* Teach the server how to serve a clone of an empty repo. (Dave Borowitz)

* Correctly advertise capabilities during receive-pack. (Dave Borowitz)

* Fix add/add and add/rename conflicts in tree_changes_for_merge.

(Dave Borowitz)

* Use correct MIME types in web server. (Dave Borowitz)

API CHANGES

* write_pack no longer takes the num_objects argument and requires an object

to be passed in that is iterable (rather than an iterator) and that

provides __len__. (Jelmer Vernooij)

* write_pack_data has been renamed to write_pack_objects and no longer takes a

num_objects argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)

* take_msb_bytes, read_zlib_chunks, unpack_objects, and

PackStreamReader.read_objects now take an additional argument indicating a

crc32 to compute. (Dave Borowitz)

* PackObjectIterator was removed; its functionality is still exposed by

PackData.iterobjects. (Dave Borowitz)

* Add a sha arg to write_pack_object to incrementally compute a SHA.
