            #   only branchhead as there are no possible ancestors on
            #   the same branch.
            # - If a parent is on the same branch, a branchhead can
            #   only be an ancestor of that parent, if it is parent
            #   itself. Otherwise it would have been removed as ancestor
            #   of that parent before.
            # - Therefore, if all parents are on the same branch, they
            #   can just be removed from the branchhead set.
            # - If one parent is on the same branch and the other is not
            #   and there was exactly one branchhead known, the existing
            #   branchhead can only be an ancestor if it is the parent.

    This is a low level cache, independent of filtering.

    Branch names are stored in rbc-names in internal encoding separated by 0.
    rbc-names is append-only, and each branch name is only stored once and will
    thus have a unique index.

    The branch info for each revision is stored in rbc-revs as constant size
    records. The whole file is read into memory, but it is only 'parsed' on
    demand. The file is usually append-only but will be truncated if repo
    modification is detected.
    The record for each revision contains the first 4 bytes of the
    corresponding node hash, and the record is only used if it still matches.
    Even a completely trashed rbc-revs fill thus still give the right result
    while converging towards full recovery ... assuming no incorrectly matching
    node hashes.
    The record also contains 4 bytes where 31 bits contains the index of the
    branch and the last bit indicate that it is a branch close commit.
    The usage pattern for rbc-revs is thus somewhat similar to 00changelog.i
    and will grow with it but be 1/8th of its size.
