log: make -fr show complete history from the given revs
Right now it's very obtuse to show the history of a particular rev (hg log -r
'reverse(::foo)'). This changes the -f option to make it follow history for the
revs specified by -r.
The current -f -r behavior is to limit the result of -r to only the
commits that are ancestors of the current working copy. Changing this
is a bit of a BC break, but the old behavior is A) rare, B) easy to
emulate (& ::.), and C) currently undefined. The new behavior is
frequently requested enough that I think the change is worth it.
$ hg init repo
$ cd repo
$ touch foo
$ hg ci -Am 'add foo'
adding foo
$ hg up -C null
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
this should be stored as a delta against rev 0
$ echo foo bar baz > foo
$ hg ci -Am 'add foo again'
adding foo
created new head
$ hg debugindex foo
