Overview
Comment:perf: carry a cone clone's forwarded delta chains across rounds

The server's cone walk sends an in-cone file version as a delta with the chain of newer versions ahead of it as its bases. Each round restarts the walk from the clone's cursor, so every later round that reached one of those versions at its own check-in sent it again.

The walk's cookie now names each chain a send forwarded: its head, length and an FNV-64 checksum of its rids. The next round rebuilds the chain from the store's delta table, counts its rids as sent, and drops it when the checksum no longer matches, so a store re-deltified mid-clone can never pass off a base the client was not sent. A run loses the leading rids the walk reaches, and the cookie carries at most 1,024 runs; one dropped is only sent again.

On a copy of fossil-scm.org's repository a cone clone of src now receives 72,835 blobs to hold 56,262 (main: 100,212); the clones verify identically.

docs(changelog): measure the carried chains over a classified store

With the store classified, the cone clone of fossil-scm.org's src takes 8 rounds and receives 57,041 blobs to hold 56,262, against 12 rounds and 83,521 without the carried chains. The chains also cover versions a merge check-in brings in from a branch, which made up most of the remaining repeats. check-in: 102dab787b user: [email protected] tags: main, perf/cone-clone-resend, trunk
