getchangegroup: take an 'outgoing' object as argument (API)...
getchangegroup: take an 'outgoing' object as argument (API) There is various version of this function that differ mostly by the way they define the bundled set. The flexibility is now available in the outgoing object itself so we move the complexity into the caller themself. This will allow use to remove a good share of the similar function to obtains a changegroup in the 'changegroup.py' module. An important side effect is that we stop calling 'computeoutgoing' in 'getchangegroup'. This is fine as code that needs such argument processing is actually going through the 'exchange' module which already all this function itself.

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.
