backout: deprecate/hide support for backing out merges
This has never worked usefully:
- it can't undo a completely unwanted merge, as it leaves the merge in the DAG
- it can't undo a faulty merge as that means doing a merge correctly,
not simply reverting to one or the other parent
Both of these kinds of merge also require coordinated action among
developers to avoid the bad merge continuing to affect future merges,
so we should stop pretending that backout is of any help here.
As backing out a merge now requires a hidden option, it can't be done
by accident, but will continue to 'work' for anyone who's already
dependent on --parent for some unknown reason.

$ hg init a
$ cd a
$ echo C1 > C1
$ hg ci -Am C1
adding C1
$ echo C2 > C2
$ hg ci -Am C2
adding C2
$ cd ..
$ hg clone a b
updating to branch default
2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg clone a c
updating to branch default
2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cd b
$ echo L1 > L1
$ hg ci -Am L1
adding L1
$ cd ../a
$ echo R1 > R1
$ hg ci -Am R1
adding R1
$ cd ../b
Now b has one revision to be pulled from a:
$ hg pull --rebase
pulling from $TESTTMP/a
searching for changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files (+1 heads)
saved backup bundle to $TESTTMP/b/.hg/strip-backup/*-backup.hg (glob)
$ hg tglog
@ 3: 'L1'
|
o 2: 'R1'
|
o 1: 'C2'
|
o 0: 'C1'
Re-run:
$ hg pull --rebase
pulling from $TESTTMP/a
searching for changes
no changes found
Invoke pull --rebase and nothing to rebase:
$ cd ../c
$ hg pull --rebase
pulling from $TESTTMP/a
searching for changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files
nothing to rebase
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg tglog -l 1
@ 2: 'R1'
|
pull --rebase --update should ignore --update:
$ hg pull --rebase --update
pulling from $TESTTMP/a
searching for changes
no changes found
pull --rebase doesn't update if nothing has been pulled:
$ hg up -q 1
$ hg pull --rebase
pulling from $TESTTMP/a
searching for changes
no changes found
$ hg tglog -l 1
o 2: 'R1'
