log: make -fr show complete history from the given revs

Right now it's very obtuse to show the history of a particular rev (hg log -r
'reverse(::foo)'). This changes the -f option to make it follow history for the
revs specified by -r.

The current -f -r behavior is to limit the result of -r to only the
commits that are ancestors of the current working copy. Changing this
is a bit of a BC break, but the old behavior is A) rare, B) easy to
emulate (& ::.), and C) currently undefined. The new behavior is
frequently requested enough that I think the change is worth it.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import errno, os, sys

for f in sys.argv[1:]:
    try:
        print f, '->', os.readlink(f)
    except OSError, err:
        if err.errno != errno.EINVAL:
            raise
        print f, 'not a symlink'

sys.exit(0)
