revlog: remove some knowledge of sentinel nullid in index I think the "-2" to mean "last position in index, not counting the null revision at the end" is an implementation detail of the index that we should avoid spreading knowledge of. I hope we can even remove support for index[-2]. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4016
