tags: avoid expensive access to repo.changelog in a loop

repo.changelog needs some cache invalidation when run on filtered repository.
Accessing it in that loop can be expensive when there is many heads (e.g.
mozilla try and it 25 000 heads).

Note that the loop itself seems useless, but after this patch it no longer take
about ⅛  of the time we spend computing cache for mozilla try.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
