revert: distinguish between "check" and "backup" strategy...
revert: distinguish between "check" and "backup" strategy "check" behaves as backup did before. We check if the current file differs from destination and we create a backup if it does. This is used for untracked files that will be overwritten by formerly-deleted files. We have to do the manual check since no status output can provide the content comparison. "backup" is now doing unconditional backup. This can be used for files seen as modified compared to both the target and the working directory. In such a case, we know that the file differs from target without actually comparing any content. This new "backup" strategy will be especially useful in the case of files added between the target and the working directory -parent- with additional modifications in the working directory -itself-. In that case we know we need to back it up, but we cannot run the content check as the files does not exists in target.

Mercurial supports several ways to specify individual revisions.
A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative integers are
treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip,
-2 denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth.
A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision
identifier.
A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a
unique revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form
identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix
of exactly one full-length identifier.
Any other string is treated as a bookmark, tag, or branch name. A
bookmark is a movable pointer to a revision. A tag is a permanent name
associated with a revision. A branch name denotes the tipmost open branch head
of that branch - or if they are all closed, the tipmost closed head of the
branch. Bookmark, tag, and branch names must not contain the ":" character.
The reserved name "tip" always identifies the most recent revision.
The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the
revision of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0.
The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If no
working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If an
uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the revision of the first
parent.
