lookup: add option to disambiguate prefix within revset When resolving a nodeid prefix that is not unique within the repo and the user has configured a revset that they want to disambiguate within, we now try to look up within that revset before we fail. If there is a unique match within the revset, we use that. This is of course most effective at allowing a short prefix if the revset contains few nodes. For most of our internal users at Google, "not public()" is sufficiently small that a hex digit or two is enough. The implementation is currently pretty slow, but good enough for small revsets (which is the expected use case). The scan in the revset is linear. We may want to use a prefix tree if we want to allow users to use a larger revset. Credit for the idea goes to Kyle Lippincott. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4037

Mercurial has the ability to add new features through the use of
extensions. Extensions may add new commands, add options to
existing commands, change the default behavior of commands, or
implement hooks.
To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in the
Python search path, create an entry for it in your configuration file,
like this::
[extensions]
foo =
You may also specify the full path to an extension::
[extensions]
myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py
See :hg:`help config` for more information on configuration files.
Extensions are not loaded by default for a variety of reasons:
they can increase startup overhead; they may be meant for advanced
usage only; they may provide potentially dangerous abilities (such
as letting you destroy or modify history); they might not be ready
for prime time; or they may alter some usual behaviors of stock
Mercurial. It is thus up to the user to activate extensions as
needed.
To explicitly disable an extension enabled in a configuration file of
broader scope, prepend its path with !::
[extensions]
# disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py
bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py
# ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz
baz = !
