Add a features list to branches.cache to detect caches of old hg versions.
The leading space in the written file makes sure that the feature list never
can match an existing version, even if the first feature can be read as hex.
Additionally old hg versions display the id with --debug, too.
#!/bin/sh
hg init 1
echo '[ui]' >> 1/.hg/hgrc
echo 'timeout = 10' >> 1/.hg/hgrc
echo foo > 1/foo
hg --cwd 1 ci -A -m foo
hg clone 1 2
hg clone 2 3
echo '[hooks]' >> 2/.hg/hgrc
echo 'changegroup.push = hg push -qf ../1' >> 2/.hg/hgrc
echo bar >> 3/foo
hg --cwd 3 ci -m bar
hg --cwd 3 push ../2
