filelog: stop proxying headrevs() (API)
The previous commit removed the last user of this method. It is
redundant with heads() and adds little to no value other than
convenience. Let's nuke it.

=================== Mercurial Rust Code =================== This directory contains various Rust code for the Mercurial project. The top-level ``Cargo.toml`` file defines a workspace containing all primary Mercurial crates. Building ======== To build the Rust components:: $ cargo build If you prefer a non-debug / release configuration:: $ cargo build --release Features -------- The following Cargo features are available: localdev (default) Produce files that work with an in-source-tree build. In this mode, the build finds and uses a ``python2.7`` binary from ``PATH``. The ``hg`` binary assumes it runs from ``rust/target/<target>hg`` and it finds Mercurial files at ``dirname($0)/../../../``. Build Mechanism --------------- The produced ``hg`` binary is *bound* to a CPython installation. The binary links against and loads a CPython library that is discovered at build time (by a ``build.rs`` Cargo build script). The Python standard library defined by this CPython installation is also used. Finding the appropriate CPython installation to use is done by the ``python27-sys`` crate's ``build.rs``. Its search order is:: 1. ``PYTHON_SYS_EXECUTABLE`` environment variable. 2. ``python`` executable on ``PATH`` 3. ``python2`` executable on ``PATH`` 4. ``python2.7`` executable on ``PATH`` Additional verification of the found Python will be performed by our ``build.rs`` to ensure it meets Mercurial's requirements. Details about the build-time configured Python are built into the produced ``hg`` binary. This means that a built ``hg`` binary is only suitable for a specific, well-defined role. These roles are controlled by Cargo features (see above). Running ======= The ``hgcli`` crate produces an ``hg`` binary. You can run this binary via ``cargo run``:: $ cargo run --manifest-path hgcli/Cargo.toml Or directly:: $ target/debug/hg $ target/release/hg You can also run the test harness with this binary:: $ ./run-tests.py --with-hg ../rust/target/debug/hg .. note:: Integration with the test harness is still preliminary. Remember to ``cargo build`` after changes because the test harness doesn't yet automatically build Rust code.
