snapshot: fix line order when skipping over empty deltas

The code movement in 37957e07138c introduced an error.

Since 8f83a953dddf, we discarded some revisions because they are identical to
their delta base (and use that delta base instead). That logic is good,
however, in 37957e07138c we mixed up the order of two line, adding the "new"
revision to the set of already tested one, instead of the discarded one. So in
practice, we were never investigating any revisions in a chain starting with
an empty delta. Creating significantly worst delta chain (eg: Mercurial's
manifest move goes from about 60MB up to about 80MB).

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
