shortest: make pure code also disambigute against revnums at end This makes the pure code more similar to the native code in that it first finds a prefix that's unambiguous among nodeids and then adds hex digits until it no longer looks like a revnum. It will allow us to even better separate the disambiguation with revnums in a later patch. With this patch `hg log -r 0::50 -T '{shortest(node,1)}'` with no native code goes from 25s to 43s. It wasn't exactly usable to begin with, so I don't feel too bad about it. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3500

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
