branchmap: server should not advertise secret changeset in branchmap (Issue3303)...
branchmap: server should not advertise secret changeset in branchmap (Issue3303) Discovery now use an overlay above branchmap to prune invisible "secret" changeset from branchmap. To minimise impact on the code during the code freeze, this is achieve by recomputing non-secret heads on the fly when any secret changeset exists. This is a computation heavy approach similar to the one used for visible heads. But few sever should contains secret changeset anyway. See comment in code for more robust approach. On local repo the wrapper is applied explicitly while the wire-protocol take care of wrapping branchmap call in a transparent way. This could be unified by the Peter Arrenbrecht and Sune Foldager proposal of a `peer` object. An inappropriate `(+i heads)` may still appear when pushing new changes on a repository with secret changeset. (see Issue3394 for details)

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 tag or branch name. A tag name is a
symbolic name associated with a revision identifier. A branch name
denotes the tipmost revision of that branch. Tag and branch names must
not contain the ":" character.
The reserved name "tip" is a special tag that 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.
