revsets: overload the branch() revset to also take a branch name.

This should only change semantics in the specific case of a tag/branch
conflict where the tag wasn't done on the branch with the same
name. Previously, branch(whatever) would resolve to the branch of the
tag in that case, whereas now it will resolve to the branch of the
name. The previous behaviour, while documented, seemed very
counter-intuitive to me.

An alternate approach would be to introduce a new revset such as
branchname() or namedbranch(). While this would retain backwards
compatibility, the distinction between it and branch() would not be
readily apparent to users. The most intuitive behaviour would be to
have branch(x) require 'x' to be a branch name, and something like
branchof(x) or samebranch(x) do what branch(x) currently
does. Unfortunately, our backwards compatibility guarantees prevent us
from doing that.

Please note that while 'hg tag' guards against shadowing a branch, 'hg
branch' does not. Besides, even if it did, that wouldn't solve the
issue of conversions with such tags and branches...

Corrupt an hg repo with two pulls.
create one repo with a long history

  $ hg init source1
  $ cd source1
  $ touch foo
  $ hg add foo
  $ for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do
  >     echo $i >> foo
  >     hg ci -m $i
  > done
  $ cd ..

create one repo with a shorter history

  $ hg clone -r 0 source1 source2
  adding changesets
  adding manifests
  adding file changes
  added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files
  updating to branch default
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cd source2
  $ echo a >> foo
  $ hg ci -m a
  $ cd ..

create a third repo to pull both other repos into it

  $ hg init corrupted
  $ cd corrupted

use a hook to make the second pull start while the first one is still running

  $ echo '[hooks]' >> .hg/hgrc
  $ echo 'prechangegroup = sleep 5' >> .hg/hgrc

start a pull...

  $ hg pull ../source1 &

... and start another pull before the first one has finished

  $ sleep 1
  pulling from ../source1
  requesting all changes
  $ hg pull ../source2 2>/dev/null
  pulling from ../source2
