-SPECIFYING SINGLE REVISIONS
----------------------------
-
- Mercurial accepts several notations for identifying individual
- revisions.
-
- A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative
- integers are treated as offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the
- tip.
-
- 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 referred to as a short-form
- identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the
- prefix of one full-length identifier.
-
- Any other string is treated as a tag name, which is a symbolic
- name associated with a revision identifier. Tag names may 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.
-
-SPECIFYING MULTIPLE REVISIONS
------------------------------
-
- When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be
- specified individually, or provided as a continuous range,
- separated by the ":" character.
-
- The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END
- are revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If
- BEGIN is not specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END
- is not specified, it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus
- means "all revisions".
-
- If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse
- order.
-
- A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5
- gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 4:2 gives 4, 3, and 2.
