bookmarks: warn about bookmark names that unambiguously resolve to a node (BC) I just burned myself on this today because I left out the -r in my `hg bookmark` command, which then left me confused because I didn't notice the bookmark I created in the wrong place that was silently shadowing the revision I was trying to check out. Let's warn the user. This patch only enforces the check on bookmark names 4 characters long or longer. We can tweak that if we'd like, I selected that since that's the fewest characters shortest will use in the templater output. A previous version of this patch rejected such bookmarks. It was proposed during review (and I agree) that the behavior change for a bookmark named "cafe" or similar as history accumulated was a little too weird, but that the warning definitely has merit.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
