changegroup: control reordering via constructor argument
cg2packer.__init__ exists just to override self._reorder. Let's
parameterize this behavior via an argument to the parent's
__init__.
The logic for self._reorder is kinda wonky. None is used as a
special value and the value should be None in some situations.
It is probably worth rewriting this logic to make behavior more
explicit. This will likely happen as part of future work to
control the delta generation process that I have planned.

Mercurial accepts several notations for identifying one or more files
at a time.
By default, Mercurial treats filenames as shell-style extended glob
patterns.
Alternate pattern notations must be specified explicitly.
.. note::
Patterns specified in ``.hgignore`` are not rooted.
Please see :hg:`help hgignore` for details.
To use a plain path name without any pattern matching, start it with
``path:``. These path names must completely match starting at the
current repository root, and when the path points to a directory, it is matched
recursively. To match all files in a directory non-recursively (not including
any files in subdirectories), ``rootfilesin:`` can be used, specifying an
absolute path (relative to the repository root).
To use an extended glob, start a name with ``glob:``. Globs are rooted
at the current directory; a glob such as ``*.c`` will only match files
in the current directory ending with ``.c``.
The supported glob syntax extensions are ``**`` to match any string
across path separators and ``{a,b}`` to mean "a or b".
To use a Perl/Python regular expression, start a name with ``re:``.
Regexp pattern matching is anchored at the root of the repository.
To read name patterns from a file, use ``listfile:`` or ``listfile0:``.
The latter expects null delimited patterns while the former expects line
feeds. Each string read from the file is itself treated as a file
pattern.
To read a set of patterns from a file, use ``include:`` or ``subinclude:``.
``include:`` will use all the patterns from the given file and treat them as if
they had been passed in manually. ``subinclude:`` will only apply the patterns
against files that are under the subinclude file's directory. See :hg:`help
hgignore` for details on the format of these files.
All patterns, except for ``glob:`` specified in command line (not for
``-I`` or ``-X`` options), can match also against directories: files
under matched directories are treated as matched.
For ``-I`` and ``-X`` options, ``glob:`` will match directories recursively.
Plain examples::
path:foo/bar a name bar in a directory named foo in the root
of the repository
path:path:name a file or directory named "path:name"
rootfilesin:foo/bar the files in a directory called foo/bar, but not any files
in its subdirectories and not a file bar in directory foo
Glob examples::
glob:*.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory
*.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory
**.c any name ending in ".c" in any subdirectory of the
current directory including itself.
foo/* any file in directory foo
foo/** any file in directory foo plus all its subdirectories,
recursively
foo/*.c any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo
foo/**.c any name ending in ".c" in any subdirectory of foo
including itself.
Regexp examples::
re:.*\.c$ any name ending in ".c", anywhere in the repository
File examples::
listfile:list.txt read list from list.txt with one file pattern per line
listfile0:list.txt read list from list.txt with null byte delimiters
See also :hg:`help filesets`.
Include examples::
include:path/to/mypatternfile reads patterns to be applied to all paths
subinclude:path/to/subignorefile reads patterns specifically for paths in the
subdirectory
