revisions: allow "x123" to refer to nodeid prefix "123"...
revisions: allow "x123" to refer to nodeid prefix "123" When resolving "123" to a revision, we try to interpret it as revnum before we try to interpret it as a nodeid hex prefix. This can lead to the shortest valid prefix being longer than necessary. This patch lets us write such nodeids in a shorter form by prefixing them with "x" instead of adding more hex digits until they're longer than the longest decimal revnum. On my hg repo with almost 69k revisions, turning this feature on saves on average 0.4% on the average nodeid length. That clearly doesn't justify this patch. However, it becomes more usefule when combined with the earlier patches in this series that let you disambiguate nodeid prefixes within a configured revset. Note that we attempt to resolve symbols as nodeid prefixes after we've exhausted all other posibilities, so this is a backwards compatible change (only queries that would previously fail may now succeed). I've still hidden this feature behind an experiemntal config option so we can roll it back if needed. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4041

Record help
$ hg record -h
hg record [OPTION]... [FILE]...
interactively select changes to commit
If a list of files is omitted, all changes reported by 'hg status' will be
candidates for recording.
See 'hg help dates' for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.
If using the text interface (see 'hg help config'), you will be prompted
for whether to record changes to each modified file, and for files with
multiple changes, for each change to use. For each query, the following
responses are possible:
y - record this change
n - skip this change
e - edit this change manually
s - skip remaining changes to this file
f - record remaining changes to this file
d - done, skip remaining changes and files
a - record all changes to all remaining files
q - quit, recording no changes
? - display help
This command is not available when committing a merge.
(use 'hg help -e record' to show help for the record extension)
options ([+] can be repeated):
-A --addremove mark new/missing files as added/removed before
committing
--close-branch mark a branch head as closed
--amend amend the parent of the working directory
-s --secret use the secret phase for committing
-e --edit invoke editor on commit messages
-I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns
-X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns
-m --message TEXT use text as commit message
-l --logfile FILE read commit message from file
-d --date DATE record the specified date as commit date
-u --user USER record the specified user as committer
-S --subrepos recurse into subrepositories
-w --ignore-all-space ignore white space when comparing lines
-b --ignore-space-change ignore changes in the amount of white space
-B --ignore-blank-lines ignore changes whose lines are all blank
-Z --ignore-space-at-eol ignore changes in whitespace at EOL
(some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)
