revset: use smartset minus operator Previously, revsets like 'X - Y' were translated to be 'X and not Y'. This can be expensive, since if Y is a single commit then 'not Y' becomes a huge set and sometimes the query optimizer doesn't account for it well. This patch changes revsets to use the built in smartset minus operator, which is often smarter than 'X and not Y'. On a large repo this saves 2.2 seconds on rebase and histedit because "X:: - X" becomes almost instant.
