merge: replace a repo.lookup('.') by more typical repo['.'].node() The `repo.lookup('.')` form comes from b3311e26f94f (merge: fix --preview to show all nodes that will be merged (issue2043)., 2010-02-15). I don't know why that commit changed from `repo['.']`, but I don't think there's any reason to do that. Note that performance should not be a reason (anymore?), because repo.lookup() is implemented by first creating a context object. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7998
