extdiff: use archiver to take snapshots of committed revisions This is the last step before supporting extdiff -S. It maintains the existing behavior of diffing the largefile standins instead of the largefiles themselves. Note however that the standins are not updated immediately upon modification, so uncommitted largefile changes are ignored, as they previously were, even with the diff command.

When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be specified
individually, or provided as a topologically 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 9:6 gives 9, 8, 7, and 6.
