util._matcher: speed up regexp matching.
In 4babaa52badf, Benoit made a change that substantially slows matching
when a big .hgignore file is in play, because it calls into the regexp
matching engine potentially hundreds of times per file to be matched.
I've partly rolled back his change, so that we only call into the matcher
once per file, but preserved the ability to report a meaningful error
message if there's a syntax error in the regexp.
#!/bin/sh
hg init rep; cd rep
touch empty-file
python -c 'for x in range(10000): print x' > large-file
hg addremove
hg commit -m A
rm large-file empty-file
python -c 'for x in range(10,10000): print x' > another-file
hg addremove -s50
hg commit -m B
cd ..
hg init rep2; cd rep2
python -c 'for x in range(10000): print x' > large-file
python -c 'for x in range(50): print x' > tiny-file
hg addremove
hg commit -m A
python -c 'for x in range(70): print x' > small-file
rm tiny-file
rm large-file
hg addremove -s50
hg commit -m B
