changegroup: store old heads as a set Previously, the "oldheads" variable was a list. On a repository at Mozilla with 46,492 heads, profiling revealed that list membership testing was dominating execution time of applying small changegroups. This patch converts the list of old heads to a set. This makes membership testing significantly faster. On the aforementioned repository with 46,492 heads: $ hg unbundle <file with 1 changeset> before: 18.535s wall after: 1.303s Consumers of this variable only check for truthiness (`if oldheads`), length (`len(oldheads)`), and (most importantly) item membership (`h not in oldheads` - which occurs twice). So, the change to a set should be safe and suitable for stable. The practical effect of this change is that changegroup application and related operations (like `hg push`) no longer exhibit an O(n^2) CPU explosion as the number of heads grows.
