crecord: repurpose "a" key to toggle all selections (BC)
I really don't like "a". I keep accidentally hitting it when I
actually want "A", and then I'm suddenly in a state I don't want to be
in. There's a big wall of text telling me that I've turned amend mode
on or off (which one was I orginally in?), and this seems very
useless.
If I wanted to amend or not, I would have chosen that from the
command-line, not change my mind after I've already started picking
hunks apart. Furthermore, for most uses of the hunk selector (revert,
uncommit, shelve/unshelve), this amend toggle doesn't make sense.
It seems much better to repurpose this key to be a "weaker" version of
"A". It toggles all selections. This is pretty harmless if hit
accidentally, (can just hit "a" again to toggle everything and undo
it), and has immediate visual feedback that something happened: all
the x's and blank spaces get switched around. And unlike with amend,
the current flipped state is also immediately visible without having
to read a wall of text.
I'm calling this a BC, however, because somewhere, someone out there
has probably really fallen in love with the old use of "a" and will
get angry that we took it away.

== New Features == * New config `commands.commit.post-status` shows status after successful commit. * `hg root` now has templating support, including support for showing where a repo share's source is. See `hg help -v root` for details. * New `--force-close-branch` flag for `hg commit` to forcibly close branch from a non-head changeset. * The curses-based interface for commands like `hg commit -i` now supports a range-select mechanism. Select the first line using space like before, navigate to the last line, and press X (capital x) to set all items in the range at once. Lowercase x has been added as a synonym for space to help reinforce the mechanism, and pressing enter/return continues to be a synonym for "toggle the current line and move down to the next item in this section." == New Experimental Features == * New config `experimental.log.topo` makes `hg log -G` use topological sorting. This is especially useful for aliases since it lets the alias accept an `-r` option while still using topological sorting with or without the `-r` (unlike if you use the `sort(..., topo)` revset). == Bug Fixes == * issue4292: "hg log and {files} {file_adds} {file_mods} {file_dels} in template show wrong files on merged revision". See details in "Backwards Compatibility Changes". == Backwards Compatibility Changes == * Removed (experimental) support for log graph lines mixing parent/grandparent styles. Setting e.g. `experimental.graphstyle.parent = !` and `experimental.graphstyle.grandparent = 3.` would use `!` for the first three lines of the graph and then `.`. This is no longer supported. * If `ui.origbackuppath` had been (incorrectly) configured to point to a file, we will now replace that file by a directory and put backups in that directory. This is similar to how we would previously replace files *in* the configured directory by subdirectories. * Template keyword `{file_mods}`, `{file_adds}`, and `{file_dels}` have changed behavior on merge commits. They used to be relative to the first parent, but they now consider both parents. `{file_adds}` shows files that exists in the commit but did not exist in either parent. `{file_dels}` shows files that do not exist in the commit but existed in either parent. `{file_mods}` show the remaining files from `{files}` that were not in the other two sets. == Internal API Changes == * Matchers are no longer iterable. Use `match.files()` instead. * `match.visitdir()` and `match.visitchildrenset()` now expect the empty string instead of '.' to indicate the root directory. * `util.dirs()` and `util.finddirs()` now include an entry for the root directory (empty string). * shelve is no longer an extension now. it will be turned on by default. * New API to manage unfinished operations: Earlier there were distinct APIs which dealt with unfinished states and separate lists maintaining them that are `cmdutil.afterresolvestates`, `cmdutil.unfinishedstates` and `cmdutil.STATES`. Now these have been unified to a single API which handles the various states and their utilities. This API has been added to `state.py`. Now instead of adding to these 3 lists independently a state for a new operation can be registered using `addunfinished()` in `state` module. * `cmdutil.checkunfinished()` now includes detection for merge too. * merge abort has been disallowed in case an operation of higher precedence is in progress to avoid cases of partial abort of operations. * We used to automatically attempt to make extensions compatible with Python 3 (by translating their source code while loading it). We no longer do that.
