revset: use resolvehexnodeidprefix() in id() predicate (BC) We now have a public method for this purpose, so we don't need to access the private revlog._partialmatch(). Also, I'll probably make some changes to resolvehexnodeidprefix() later, and I want those to be reflected by the id() predicate. Note that this breaks a test case, because we now resolve the prefix in the unfiltered repo and get an ambiguous lookup, which results in no revision being added to the revset. The test case was already documented to be broken even though it wasn't. It's important to note that {shortest(node)} already uses the unfiltered repo, so we're not going to break people who get the prefix from there. I think we may not want to ever use shortest() in the filtered repo. It seems unlikely to be enough of a win to matter much. For example, in my hg repo, it would save me only 0.2 hex digits. In another repo that only I modify, it saves a little more, but it's still only 0.29 hex digits. It seems unlikely that people will prune enough commits that only 1/16 of the commits are visible (which is what it would take a to save a single hex digit). Instead, I'm working on another approach: allow ambiguous matches to be disambiguated within a user-specified revset. Whether or not that pans out, I hope we're okay with this little change in behavior for now and we can decide what to do about it later. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3311
