changelog: add a `branch` method, bypassing changectx
The only way to access the branch of a changeset is currently to
create a changectx object and access its `branch()` method. Creating
a new Python object is costly and has a huge impact on code doing
heavy access to `branch()` (like branchmap).
This change introduces a new method on changelog that allows direct
access to the branch of a revision. See the next changeset for impact.
$ hg init a
$ cd a
$ hg init b
$ echo x > b/x
Should print nothing:
$ hg add b
$ hg st
Should fail:
$ hg st b/x
abort: path 'b/x' is inside nested repo 'b' (glob)
[255]
$ hg add b/x
abort: path 'b/x' is inside nested repo 'b' (glob)
[255]
Should fail:
$ hg add b b/x
abort: path 'b/x' is inside nested repo 'b' (glob)
[255]
$ hg st
Should arguably print nothing:
$ hg st b
$ echo a > a
$ hg ci -Ama a
Should fail:
$ hg mv a b
abort: path 'b/a' is inside nested repo 'b' (glob)

$ hg st
$ cd ..
