exchange: support transferring .hgtags fnodes mapping On Mozilla's mozilla-beta repository .hgtags fnodes resolution takes ~18s from a clean cache on my machine. This means that the first time a user runs `hg tags`, `hg log`, or any other command that displays or accesses tags data, a ~18s pause will occur. There is no output during this pause. This results in a poor user experience and perception that Mercurial is slow. The .hgtags changeset to filenode mapping is deterministic. This patch takes advantage of that property by implementing support for transferring .hgtags filenodes mappings in a dedicated bundle2 part. When a client advertising support for the "hgtagsfnodes" capability requests a bundle, a mapping of changesets to .hgtags filenodes will be sent to the client. Only mappings of head changesets included in the bundle will be sent. The transfer of this mapping effectively eliminates one time tags cache related pauses after initial clone. The mappings are sent as binary data. So, 40 bytes per pair of SHA-1s. On the aforementioned mozilla-beta repository, 659 * 40 = 26,360 raw bytes of mappings are sent over the wire (in addition to the bundle part headers). Assuming 18s to populate the cache, we only need to transfer this extra data faster than 1.5 KB/s for overall clone + tags cache population time to be shorter. Put into perspective, the mozilla-beta repository is ~1 GB in size. So, this additional data constitutes <0.01% of the cloned data. The marginal overhead for a multi-second performance win on clones in my opinion justifies an on-by-default behavior.
