revpair: restrict odd-range handling to top-level x:y expression (issue4774)...
revpair: restrict odd-range handling to top-level x:y expression (issue4774) The odd-range hack was introduced by 2a0efa1112ac for backward compatibility, but it was too widely applied. I've checked cmdutil.revpair() at 1.6, and found that ".:", ":0" and ":" are also handled as pairs. So let's enable the hack only for "x:y", "x:", "y:" and ":". test-revset.t is updated because "tip^::tip^ or tip^" shouldn't be taken as an odd range. This patch adds "tip^:tip^" instead. This patch is written for the default branch because parse() of the stable branch lacks compatibility hack for "foo+bar" tag. If we want to mitigate the issue in stable, we can add something like "and '::' in revs[0]".

When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be specified
individually, or provided as a topologically continuous range,
separated by the ":" character.
The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END are
revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If BEGIN is not
specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END is not specified,
it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus means "all revisions".
If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse order.
A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5
gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 9:6 gives 9, 8, 7, and 6.
