commands.push: abort when revisions evaluate to empty set (BC)...
commands.push: abort when revisions evaluate to empty set (BC) If the "-r" argument is specified to "hg push," the user has expressed an intent for a specific changeset to be present on the remote. If that expression cannot be mapped to a known changeset, the user's intent is ambiguous and cannot be acted upon without making assumptions. Previously, if arguments to `push -r <rev>` evaluated to an empty set (perhaps the user specified a revset that didn't evaluate to anything), the empty "revs" list would be passed down to "exchange.push" where it appears the empty list was being interpreted as "push everything." This patch adds validation to the "-r" argument to the push command. If the argument is specified but doesn't resolve to a changeset, the command will abort instead of doing something potentially unexpected. This patch is technically breaking backwards compatibility. I believe this is justified because the new behavior closes a crack that could result in undefined or under-defined behavior. Also, this patch doesn't drop client capabilities because if users really wanted to push all changesets, they can simply omit the "-r" argument from push completely.

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
