setdiscovery: back out changeset 5cfdf6137af8 (issue5809)

As explained in the bug report, this commit caused a performance
regression. The problem occurs when the local repo has very many
heads. Before 5cfdf6137af8, we used to get the remote's list of heads
and if these heads mostly overlapped with the local repo's heads, we
would mark these common heads as common, which would greatly reduce
the size of the set of undecided nodes.

Note that a similar problem existed before 5cfdf6137af8: If the local
repo had very many heads and the server just had a few (or many heads
from a disjoint set), we would do the same kind of slow discovery as
we would with 5cfdf6137af8 in the case where local and remote repos
share a large set of common nodes.

For now, we just back out 5cfdf6137af8. We should improve the
discovery in the "local has many heads, remote has few heads" case,
but let's do that after backing this out.

# In most cases, the mercurial repository can be read by the bundled hg, but
# that isn't always true because third-party extensions may change the store
# format, for example. In which case, the system hg installation is used.
#
# We want to use the hg version being tested when interacting with the test
# repository, and the system hg when interacting with the mercurial source code
# repository.
#
# The mercurial source repository was typically orignally cloned with the
# system mercurial installation, and may require extensions or settings from
# the system installation.

    (
        syshgenv
        exec hg "$@"

# Revert the environment so that running "hg" runs the system hg
# rather than the test hg installation.

# The test-repo is a live hg repository which may have evolution markers
# created, e.g. when a ~/.hgrc enabled evolution.
#
# Tests may be run using a custom HGRCPATH, which do not enable evolution
# markers by default.
#
# If test-repo includes evolution markers, and we do not enable evolution
# markers, hg will occasionally complain when it notices them, which disrupts
# tests resulting in sporadic failures.
#
# Since we aren't performing any write operations on the test-repo, there's
# no harm in telling hg that we support evolution markers, which is what the
# following lines for the hgrc file do:
cat >> "$HGRCPATH" << EOF
[experimental]
evolution = createmarkers
EOF

# Use the system hg command if the bundled hg can't read the repository with
# no warning nor error.
