tests: Mercurial hooks must use ui.status for messages sent to the client Mercurial changed so sys.stdout and sys.stderr now are intercepted instead of being sent to the client. That caused a regression that manual_test_vcs_operations.py test_push_new_file_hg caught - we no longer reported 'Repository size' to the user. The issue was introduced by a Mercurial change, but the fix is backwards compatible with Mercurial 2.9. The fix is to use ui.status everywhere. ui is a Mercurial thing, but handle_git_receive also creates a ui object for Git hooks so ui.status can be used there too.

Repository statistics
=====================

Kallithea has a *repository statistics* feature, disabled by default. When
enabled, the amount of commits per committer is visualized in a timeline. This
feature can be enabled using the ``Enable statistics`` checkbox on the
repository ``Settings`` page.

The statistics system makes heavy demands on the server resources, so
in order to keep a balance between usability and performance, statistics are
cached inside the database and gathered incrementally.

When Celery is disabled:

  On each first visit to the summary page a set of 250 commits are parsed and
  added to the statistics cache. This incremental gathering also happens on each
  visit to the statistics page, until all commits are fetched.

  Statistics are kept cached until additional commits are added to the
  repository. In such a case Kallithea will only fetch the new commits when
  updating its statistics cache.

When Celery is enabled:

  On the first visit to the summary page, Kallithea will create tasks that will
  execute on Celery workers. These tasks will gather all of the statistics until
  all commits are parsed. Each task parses 250 commits, then launches a new
  task.
