log: slowpath: do not read the full changelog
When in the slowpath, we are examining _all_ changesets in revs.
We need to order reads so they happen increasingly for I/O performance.
Increasing windows were used to read changelog backwards in a windowed manner,
reading the changelog forward inside each window. But since no revision range
was specified, it was equivalent to reading the full changelog, even if a
single revision was passed to the commandline.
When --removed is used, we _need_ to scan all changesets, but if we're only
looking for file patterns, this is not necessary and we can stick to
the revspec that was given to us.

make sure /usr/local/bin is in your path
run bdist_mpkg in top-level hg directory
find packaged stuff in dist directory
