This is moving in the wrong direction. The `getchangegroupraw` 2 line 
long and is called in twice in a single place. Replacing this call with 
and explicit creation of 'outgoing' (from the same function) and a call 
to the function underlying getchangegroupraw would give you the same 
result without the need for torturing this version of the function. 
(instead you could just kill that version of the function).

This will be a net win for code simplicity and clarity.
