branches: avoid unnecessary changectx.branch() calls

This requires reading from the changelog, which can be costly over NFS.

Note that this does not totally remove reading from the changelog; we
still do that when calling changectx.closesbranch(). That call will be
removed in a later patch.

Running hg branches on the PyPy repo (with 996) over a busy NFS server,
before this change:
