revlog: add a fast path for "ambiguous identifier" Before fd1bb7c, if the C index.partialmatch raises RevlogError, the Python code raises "ambiguous identifier" error immediately, which is efficient. fd1bb7c took hidden revisions into consideration and forced the slow path enumerating the changelog to double-check hidden revisions. But it's not necessary if we know the revlog has no hidden revisions. This patch adds back the fast path for unfiltered revlogs.

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.
