revset: define successors revset This revset returns all successors, including transit nodes and the source nodes (to be consistent with existing revsets like "ancestors"). To filter out transit nodes, use `successors(X)-obsolete()`. To filter out divergent case, use `successors(X)-divergent()-obsolete()`. The revset could be useful to define rebase destination, like: `max(successors(BASE)-divergent()-obsolete())`. The `max` is to deal with splits. There are other implementations where `successors` returns just one level of successors, and `allsuccessors` returns everything. I think `successors` returning all successors by default is more user friendly. We have seen cases in production where people use 1-level `successors` while they really want `allsuccessors`. So it seems better to just have one single revset returning all successors by default to avoid user errors. In the future we might want to add `depth` keyword argument to it and for other revsets like `ancestors` etc. Or even build some flexible indexing syntax [1] to satisfy people having the depth limit requirement.
