Nobody suggested a better name for ui.limit :-)

I'd like to have something like this in Mercurial, but there are
things that should be checked to avoid performance loss. One thing
is that during clone the file mtime should be ui.limit seconds in
the past so the dirstate is up to date. But should this happen on a
simple update, too?
Probably not, because then 'make; hg update; make' might go wrong.
