Hi,

There is a pathologically slow behaviour in arch_prepare_for_tag: it calls
arch_archive_merge_points which in turn calls arch_archive_log for every
possible patch in order to build the list of patches in the continuation
patch log.

This perhaps does not matter for archives with 20-30 patches in. However,
for the WineHQ CVS gateway which currently has about 630 patches with ~100
added per week, this results in 630 apparently non-pipelined HTTP requests
to the remote server simply in order to fill the patch log with what is
IMHO worthless spam.

The solution would seem to be just not adding a list of every patch in the
tag source to the patch log. There's no need for it, and it results in
very slow tagging speed on some archives.

thanks -mike
