Summary

An inline TODO tracked this. And we were reminded of it when
recently implementing storage integration tests. Let's fix it so
we don't have to port the buggy behavior to future storage backends.

The new call to read() should be fast because the revision
fulltext should be cached as part of calling renamed(). So the
overhead here should be minimal.

That isn't true unfortunately. renamed() reads the text only if p1 is null,
so size() was cheap in most cases. This patch makes size() as slow as
len(read()).

Jun also had concerns about the perf implications of this changeset. We decided to drop this from hg-committed.
