Find changesets by keywords (author, files, the commit message), revision number or hash, or revset expression.
tests: collect all branch creation in one place in test-copies-chain-merge.t I found this test case really hard to read because it requires scrolling back and forth between the setup and the verification. The next patch will move the verification close to the merge commits they test. This patch prepares for that by moving all branch creation first so they are separate from the merge commits (because many merge commits reuse the same branches).
