largefiles: when setting/clearing x bit on largefiles, don't change other bits It is only the X bit that it matters to copy from the standin to the largefile in the working directory. While it generally doesn't do any harm to copy the whole mode, it is also "wrong" to copy more than the X bit we care about. It can make a difference if someone should try to handle largefiles differently, such as marking them read-only. Thus, do similar to what utils.setflags does and set the X bit where there are R bits and obey umask.

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.
