perf: add perfchangegroupchangelog command
This command can be used for testing the performance of producing the
changelog portion of a changegroup.
We could use additional perf* commands for testing other parts of
changegroup. Those can be written another time, when they are needed.
(And those may want to refactor the changegroup generation API so code
can be reused.) Speaking of code reuse, yes, this command does reinvent
a small wheel. I didn't want to scope bloat to change the changegroup
API because that will invite bikeshedding.
# The test-repo is a live hg repository which may have evolution
# markers created, e.g. when a ~/.hgrc enabled evolution.
#
# Tests are 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]
