stream-clone: disable gc for `_entries_walk` duration
The number of small container created turn Python in a gc-frenzy that seriously
impact performance.
This significantly boost performance. The following number comes from a large
private repository using perf::stream-locked-section:
base-line: 35.04 seconds
prev-change: 24.51 seconds (-30%)
this-change: 20.88 seconds (-40% from baseline; -15% from previous changes)
Make a narrow clone then archive it
$ . "$TESTDIR/narrow-library.sh"
$ hg init master
$ cd master
$ for x in `$TESTDIR/seq.py 3`; do
> echo $x > "f$x"
> hg add "f$x"
> hg commit -m "Add $x"
> done
$ hg serve -a localhost -p $HGPORT1 -d --pid-file=hg.pid
$ cat hg.pid >> "$DAEMON_PIDS"
$ cd ..
$ hg clone --narrow --include f1 --include f2 http://localhost:$HGPORT1/ narrowclone1
