rebase: reinstate old-style rev spec support for the source and base (issue3181)
As of b12362ab13e7 (first released as part of Mercurial 2.0), the rebase command
accepted ONLY revsets for the source and base arguments and no longer accepted
old-style revision specifications. As a result, some revision names were no
longer recognised, e.g.
hg rebase --base br-anch
abort: unknown revision 'br'!
These arguments are now interpreted first as old-style revision specifications,
then as revsets when no matching revision is found. This restores backwards
compatibility with releases prior to 2.0.
$ hg init
$ echo This is file a1 > a
$ echo This is file b1 > b
$ hg add a b
$ hg commit -m "commit #0"
$ echo This is file b22 > b
$ hg commit -m "comment #1"
$ hg update 0
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ rm b
$ hg commit -A -m "comment #2"
removing b
created new head
$ hg update 1
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg update
abort: crosses branches (merge branches or update --check to force update)
[255]
$ hg update -c
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ mv a c
In theory, we shouldn't need the "-y" below, but it prevents this test
from hanging when "hg update" erroneously prompts the user for "keep
or delete".
Should abort:
$ hg update -y 1
abort: crosses branches (merge branches or use --clean to discard changes)
[255]
$ mv c a
Should succeed:
$ hg update -y 1
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
