bookmarks: rename readcurrent to readactive (API) Today, the terms 'active' and 'current' are interchangeably used throughout the codebase in reference to the active bookmark (the bookmark that will be updated with the next commit). This leads to confusion among developers and users. This patch is part of a series to standardize the usage to 'active' throughout the mercurial codebase and user interface.

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.
