Yes.

Practically, not necessarily. The new code uses the C ancestor code in 
revlog.c, which is 20x faster than the Python ancestor code 
(https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/rHG5bae936764bb74aee13375a826e5da7b02990df1).

I think having less states here makes the code more maintainable.

For the speedup, I think the low-level `ancestor` could maintain a LRU ancestor 
cache and application could hint it what to cache. The cache object might be 
managed automatically (by the revlog.c code), or manually (by explicitly 
passing it to to `ancestor`). Besides, I had a non-trivial idea to make 
ancestor testing roughly `O(log N)` instead of `O(N)`. But those are 
non-trivial (involves native code) that I'd like to do them later.

Line 1088 is not `isancestor`. I'm okay with having two functions here. Let me 
know what do you prefer.

Copy. Will change.

Interesting. I didn't know that we treat p1 specially here. If so, users can 
always construct an asymmetric case that feels wrong. For example, if we use B 
or C as E's parent in the above graph, p1 may not get chosen in one of the case.

In this diff, it's Line 1091 trying to be conservative. I'll add tests and a 
warning like https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D340 (Diff 770) line 1115.

Maybe `assert i == 0` is a better assertion here. If `nullrev` is considered 
part of the DAG, then I think it makes sense for `adjustdest` to return `dest` 
for p2.

Good question. `adjustdest` was originally a replacement of `nearestrebased` 
and was only handling one destination. Then I found it has to deal with 2 
parents differently so it became more complex.

Looking at its current usage at `clearrebased`, it's still different. 
`clearrebased` needs to just move bookmark to the adjusted destination. The 
code here need a double check before using that adjusted destination.

In theory, the code here could also just use the adjusted destination without 
checking. But as the comment above said, the merge commit may "lose a parent" 
surprisingly.

So I think the code here is to:

1. Decide which parent not to move (not obey the adjusted destination).
2. Handle the case when a parent is not moved to destination, will it still 
need to be moved?

For 2, an example is:

  A
  |\
  B C   D

Rebasing A to D or E is an error since none of A's parents could be moved to 
those destinations. But if a user runs "rebase -s B+A -d D", then A needs to be 
moved to B'.

I'll add more comments here.
