gitweb: provide links to branches, tags and bookmarks by name
This is adapted from
cd842821db2c, that was added to paper for 3.5 release.
It adds another way to refer to branches, tags and bookmarks in urls: by name.
It's still possible to navigate to a specific changeset hash, but now you can
get more descriptive urls straight from /summary page, for example.
branchentry template (and so the whole branches table on /summary and
/branches) lost the column that had a plain changeset hash, because tags and
bookmarks don't have this column and also because there is already a way to
address branch by its changeset hash (changeset link just next to it). Maybe we
can instead bring this column with a plain changeset hash to tags and
bookmarks, but this, more terse, new look feels fine.

Two changesets this time so we rollback to a real changeset
$ hg commit -m'add a again'
$ echo a >> a
$ hg commit -m'modify a'
Test issue 902 (current branch is preserved)
$ hg branch test
marked working directory as branch test
(branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
$ hg rollback
repository tip rolled back to revision 0 (undo commit)
working directory now based on revision 0
$ hg branch

Test issue 1635 (commit message saved)
$ cat .hg/last-message.txt ; echo

Test rollback of hg before issue 902 was fixed
$ hg commit -m "test3"
$ hg branch test
marked working directory as branch test
(branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
$ rm .hg/undo.branch
$ hg rollback
repository tip rolled back to revision 0 (undo commit)
named branch could not be reset: current branch is still 'test'
working directory now based on revision 0
$ hg branch
test
working dir unaffected by rollback: do not restore dirstate et. al.
$ hg log --template '{rev} {branch} {desc|firstline}\n'
0 default add a again
$ hg status
M a
$ hg bookmark foo
$ hg commit -m'modify a again'
$ echo b > b
$ hg bookmark bar -r default #making bar active, before the transaction
$ hg commit -Am'add b'
adding b
$ hg log --template '{rev} {branch} {desc|firstline}\n'
2 test add b
1 test modify a again
0 default add a again
$ hg update bar
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved

rollback by pretxncommit saves commit message (issue1635)

$ hg --config hooks.pretxncommit=false commit -m"precious commit message"
transaction abort!

same thing, but run $EDITOR

adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 3 changesets with 2 changes to 1 files (+1 heads)
updating to branch default
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cd u
$ hg id default
068774709090
now rollback and observe that 'hg serve' reloads the repository and
presents the correct tip changeset:
$ hg -R ../t rollback
repository tip rolled back to revision 1 (undo commit)
working directory now based on revision 0
$ hg id default
791dd2169706
#endif
update to older changeset and then refuse rollback, because
that would lose data (issue2998)
$ cd ../t
$ hg -q update
$ rm `hg status -un`
$ template='{rev}:{node|short} [{branch}] {desc|firstline}\n'
$ echo 'valuable new file' > b
$ echo 'valuable modification' >> a
$ hg commit -A -m'a valuable change'
adding b
$ hg update 0
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg rollback
abort: rollback of last commit while not checked out may lose data
(use -f to force)
[255]
$ hg tip -q
2:4d9cd3795eea
$ hg rollback -f
repository tip rolled back to revision 1 (undo commit)
$ hg status
$ hg log --removed b # yep, it's gone
same again, but emulate an old client that doesn't write undo.desc
$ hg -q update
$ echo 'valuable modification redux' >> a
$ hg commit -m'a valuable change redux'
$ rm .hg/undo.desc
$ hg update 0
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg rollback
rolling back unknown transaction
$ cat a
a
corrupt journal test
$ echo "foo" > .hg/store/journal
$ hg recover
rolling back interrupted transaction
couldn't read journal entry 'foo\n'!
