clone: properly exclude rev-branch-cache from post clone cache warming When adding "CACHE_REV_BRANCH" to "CACHES_ALL" in e51161b12c7e, I did not expected it to impact the clone steps. However the "CACHES_POST_CLONE" set is created rather creatively. (we should fix that, but not on stable) The benchmark caught a quite significant slowdown one hardlink and ssh-stream clones. Such slow down can be reduced to around ~5% by fully warming the cache before the clone. However keeping this expensive step away from the clone operation fully fix the slowdown and preserve the initial intend. Example slowdow for hardlink clone ### benchmark.name = hg.command.clone # bin-env-vars.hg.flavor = default # bin-env-vars.hg.py-re2-module = default # benchmark.variants.explicit-rev = none # benchmark.variants.issue6528 = default # benchmark.variants.protocol = local-hardlink # benchmark.variants.pulled-delta-reuse-policy = default # benchmark.variants.resource-usage = default # benchmark.variants.validate = default ## data-env-vars.name = netbeans-2018-08-01-zstd-sparse-revlog 6.8.2: 19.799752 6.9rc0: 29.017493 (+46.55%, +9.22) after: 19.929341 ## data-env-vars.name = mercurial-public-2018-08-01-zstd-sparse-revlog 6.8.2: 0.468020 6.9rc0: 1.701294 (+263.51%, +1.23) after: 0.471934 ## data-env-vars.name = pypy-2024-03-22-zstd-sparse-revlog 6.8.2: 2.397564 6.9rc0: 5.666641 (+137.41%, +3.28) after: 2.428085

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
