histedit: switch state to store node instead of ctx Currently, if the node no longer exists, the state object fails to load and pukes with an exception. Changing the state object to only store the node allows callers to handle these cases. For instance, in bootstrapcontinue we can now detect that the node doesn't exist and exit gracefully. The alternative is to have the state object store something like None when the node doesn't exist, but then outside callers won't be able to access the old node for recovery (unless we store both the node and the ctx, but why bother). More importantly it allows us to detect this case when doing hg histedit --abort. Currently this situation results in both --continue and --abort being broken and the user has to rm .hg/histedit-state to unwedge their repo. (description by Durham Goode)

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.
