stream-clone: stop getting the file size of all file in v3

The point of v3 is to do less work in the locked section. It was currently not
the case.


This significantly boost performance. The following number comes from a large
private repository using perf::stream-locked-section:

base-line:   35.03 seconds
this-change: 24.50 seconds (-30%)

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
