revlog: hold a private reference to self._cache

This keeps other threads from modifying self._cache out from under us.
With this and the previous fix, 'hg serve' survives 100k hits with siege.

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

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

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

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

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