Negative integers are + treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip, -2 + denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth. + + A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision identifier. + + A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a unique + revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form identifier. A + short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix of exactly one + full-length identifier. + + Any other string is treated as a tag or branch name. A tag name is a + symbolic name associated with a revision identifier. A branch name denotes + the tipmost revision of that branch. Tag and branch names must not contain + the ":" character. + + The reserved name "tip" is a special tag that always identifies the most + recent revision. + + The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the revision + of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0. + + The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If no + working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If an + uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the revision of the first parent.
