rollback: avoid unsafe rollback when not at tip (issue2998)...
rollback: avoid unsafe rollback when not at tip (issue2998) You can get into trouble if you commit, update back to an older changeset, and then rollback. The update removes your valuable changes from the working dir, then rollback removes them history. Oops: you've just irretrievably lost data running nothing but core Mercurial commands. (More subtly: rollback from a shared clone that was already at an older changeset -- no update required, just rollback from the wrong directory.) The fix assumes that only "commit" transactions have irreplaceable data, and allows rolling back non-commit transactions as always. But when rolling back a commit, check that the working dir is checked out to tip, i.e. the changeset we're about to destroy. If not, abort. You can get back the old (dangerous) behaviour with --force.

Mercurial supports a functional language for selecting a set of
revisions.
The language supports a number of predicates which are joined by infix
operators. Parenthesis can be used for grouping.
Identifiers such as branch names must be quoted with single or double
quotes if they contain characters outside of
``[._a-zA-Z0-9\x80-\xff]`` or if they match one of the predefined
predicates.
Special characters can be used in quoted identifiers by escaping them,
e.g., ``\n`` is interpreted as a newline. To prevent them from being
interpreted, strings can be prefixed with ``r``, e.g. ``r'...'``.
There is a single prefix operator:
``not x``
Changesets not in x. Short form is ``! x``.
These are the supported infix operators:
``x::y``
A DAG range, meaning all changesets that are descendants of x and
ancestors of y, including x and y themselves. If the first endpoint
is left out, this is equivalent to ``ancestors(y)``, if the second
is left out it is equivalent to ``descendants(x)``.
An alternative syntax is ``x..y``.
``x:y``
All changesets with revision numbers between x and y, both
inclusive. Either endpoint can be left out, they default to 0 and
tip.
``x and y``
The intersection of changesets in x and y. Short form is ``x & y``.
``x or y``
The union of changesets in x and y. There are two alternative short
forms: ``x | y`` and ``x + y``.
``x - y``
Changesets in x but not in y.
``x^n``
The nth parent of x, n == 0, 1, or 2.
For n == 0, x; for n == 1, the first parent of each changeset in x;
for n == 2, the second parent of changeset in x.
``x~n``
The nth first ancestor of x; ``x~0`` is x; ``x~3`` is ``x^^^``.
There is a single postfix operator:
``x^``
Equivalent to ``x^1``, the first parent of each changeset in x.
The following predicates are supported:
.. predicatesmarker
New predicates (known as "aliases") can be defined, using any combination of
existing predicates or other aliases. An alias definition looks like::
<alias> = <definition>
in the ``revsetalias`` section of a Mercurial configuration file. Arguments
of the form `$1`, `$2`, etc. are substituted from the alias into the
definition.
For example,
::
[revsetalias]
h = heads()
d($1) = sort($1, date)
rs($1, $2) = reverse(sort($1, $2))
defines three aliases, ``h``, ``d``, and ``rs``. ``rs(0:tip, author)`` is
exactly equivalent to ``reverse(sort(0:tip, author))``.
Command line equivalents for :hg:`log`::
-f -> ::.
-d x -> date(x)
-k x -> keyword(x)
-m -> merge()
-u x -> user(x)
-b x -> branch(x)
-P x -> !::x
-l x -> limit(expr, x)
Some sample queries:
- Changesets on the default branch::
hg log -r "branch(default)"
- Changesets on the default branch since tag 1.5 (excluding merges)::
hg log -r "branch(default) and 1.5:: and not merge()"
- Open branch heads::
hg log -r "head() and not closed()"
- Changesets between tags 1.3 and 1.5 mentioning "bug" that affect
``hgext/*``::
hg log -r "1.3::1.5 and keyword(bug) and file('hgext/*')"
- Changesets committed in May 2008, sorted by user::
hg log -r "sort(date('May 2008'), user)"
- Changesets mentioning "bug" or "issue" that are not in a tagged
release::
hg log -r "(keyword(bug) or keyword(issue)) and not ancestors(tagged())"
