revset: make default kind of pattern for "contains()" rooted at cwd...
revset: make default kind of pattern for "contains()" rooted at cwd Before this patch, default kind of pattern for revset predicate "contains()" is treated as the exact file path rooted at the root of the repository. This decreases usability, because: - all other predicates taking pattern argument (also "filelog()") treat such pattern as the path rooted at the current working directory - "contains()" doesn't describe this difference in its help - this difference may confuse users for example, this prevents revset aliases from sharing same argument between "contains()" and other predicates This patch makes default kind of pattern for revset predicate "contains()" be rooted at the current working directory. This patch uses "pathutil.canonpath()" instead of creating "match" object for efficiency.

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.
