tests-subrepo-git: emit a different "pwned" message based on the test Having a single "pwned" message which may or may not be emitted during the tests for CVE-2016-3068 leads to extra confusion. Allow each test to emit a more detailed message based on what the expectations are. In both cases, we expect a version of git which has had the vulnerability plugged, as well as a version of mercurial which also knows about GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL. For the first test, we make sure GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL is unset, meaning that the ext-protocol subrepo should be ignored; if it isn't, there's either a problem with mercurial or the installed copy of git. For the second test, we explicitly allow ext-protocol subrepos, which means that the subrepo will be accessed and a message emitted confirming that this was, in fact, our intention.

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.
