wireproto: clarify cryptic 'remote: unsynced changes' error message on push The message was not very much to the point and did not in any way help an ordinary user. 'repository changed while preparing/uploading bundle - please try again' is more correct, gives the user some understanding of what is going on, and tells how to 'recover' from the situation. The 'bundle' aspect could be seen as an implementation detail that shouldn't be mentioned, but I think it helps giving an exact error message. The message could still leave the user wondering why Mercurial doesn't lock the repo and how unsafe it thus is. Explaining that is however too much detail.

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 revision
of that 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.
