revset: use resolvehexnodeidprefix() in id() predicate (BC)
We now have a public method for this purpose, so we don't need to
access the private revlog._partialmatch(). Also, I'll probably make
some changes to resolvehexnodeidprefix() later, and I want those to be
reflected by the id() predicate.
Note that this breaks a test case, because we now resolve the prefix
in the unfiltered repo and get an ambiguous lookup, which results in
no revision being added to the revset. The test case was already
documented to be broken even though it wasn't. It's important to note
that {shortest(node)} already uses the unfiltered repo, so we're not
going to break people who get the prefix from there.
I think we may not want to ever use shortest() in the filtered
repo. It seems unlikely to be enough of a win to matter much. For
example, in my hg repo, it would save me only 0.2 hex digits. In
another repo that only I modify, it saves a little more, but it's
still only 0.29 hex digits. It seems unlikely that people will prune
enough commits that only 1/16 of the commits are visible (which is
what it would take a to save a single hex digit). Instead, I'm working
on another approach: allow ambiguous matches to be disambiguated
within a user-specified revset. Whether or not that pans out, I hope
we're okay with this little change in behavior for now and we can
decide what to do about it later.

WiX installer source files
==========================
The files in this folder are used by the thg-winbuild [1] package
building architecture to create a Mercurial MSI installer. These files
are versioned within the Mercurial source tree because the WXS files
must kept up to date with distribution changes within their branch. In
other words, the default branch WXS files are expected to diverge from
the stable branch WXS files. Storing them within the same repository is
the only sane way to keep the source tree and the installer in sync.
The MSI installer builder uses only the mercurial.ini file from the
contrib/win32 folder, the contents of which have been historically used
to create an InnoSetup based installer. The rest of the files there are
ignored.
The MSI packages built by thg-winbuild require elevated (admin)
privileges to be installed due to the installation of MSVC CRT libraries
under the C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS folder. Thus the InnoSetup installers may
still be useful to some users.
To build your own MSI packages, clone the thg-winbuild [1] repository
and follow the README.txt [2] instructions closely. There are fewer
prerequisites for a WiX [3] installer than an InnoSetup installer, but
they are more specific.
