manifest: document return type of readfast()
I keep having to ponder out what readfast() means, and it always
surprises me. Document the return type in the docstring so that future
readers won't have to puzzle this out again.

Two changesets this time so we rollback to a real changeset
$ hg commit -m'add a again'
$ echo a >> a
$ hg commit -m'modify a'
Test issue 902 (current branch is preserved)
$ hg branch test
marked working directory as branch test
(branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
$ hg rollback
repository tip rolled back to revision 0 (undo commit)
working directory now based on revision 0
$ hg branch
default
Test issue 1635 (commit message saved)
$ cat .hg/last-message.txt ; echo
modify a
Test rollback of hg before issue 902 was fixed
$ hg commit -m "test3"
$ hg branch test
marked working directory as branch test
(branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
$ rm .hg/undo.branch
$ hg rollback
repository tip rolled back to revision 0 (undo commit)
named branch could not be reset: current branch is still 'test'
working directory now based on revision 0
$ hg branch
test
working dir unaffected by rollback: do not restore dirstate et. al.
$ hg log --template '{rev} {branch} {desc|firstline}\n'
0 default add a again
$ hg status
M a
$ hg bookmark foo
$ hg commit -m'modify a again'
$ echo b > b
$ hg commit -Am'add b'
adding b
$ hg log --template '{rev} {branch} {desc|firstline}\n'
2 test add b
1 test modify a again
0 default add a again
$ hg update default
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
(leaving bookmark foo)

rollback by pretxncommit saves commit message (issue1635)
$ echo a >> a
$ hg --config hooks.pretxncommit=false commit -m"precious commit message"
transaction abort!
rollback completed
abort: pretxncommit hook exited with status * (glob)

$ cat .hg/last-message.txt ; echo
precious commit message
same thing, but run $EDITOR
$ cat > editor.sh << '__EOF__'
> echo "another precious commit message" > "$1"

$ HGEDITOR="\"sh\" \"`pwd`/editor.sh\"" hg --config hooks.pretxncommit=false commit 2>&1

adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 3 changesets with 2 changes to 1 files (+1 heads)
updating to branch default
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cd u
$ hg id default
068774709090
now rollback and observe that 'hg serve' reloads the repository and
presents the correct tip changeset:
$ hg -R ../t rollback
repository tip rolled back to revision 1 (undo commit)
working directory now based on revision 0
$ hg id default
791dd2169706
#endif
update to older changeset and then refuse rollback, because
that would lose data (issue2998)
$ cd ../t
$ hg -q update
$ rm `hg status -un`
$ template='{rev}:{node|short} [{branch}] {desc|firstline}\n'
$ echo 'valuable new file' > b
$ echo 'valuable modification' >> a
$ hg commit -A -m'a valuable change'
adding b
$ hg update 0
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg rollback
abort: rollback of last commit while not checked out may lose data
(use -f to force)
[255]
$ hg tip -q
2:4d9cd3795eea
$ hg rollback -f
repository tip rolled back to revision 1 (undo commit)
$ hg status
$ hg log --removed b # yep, it's gone
same again, but emulate an old client that doesn't write undo.desc
$ hg -q update
$ echo 'valuable modification redux' >> a
$ hg commit -m'a valuable change redux'
$ rm .hg/undo.desc
$ hg update 0
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg rollback
rolling back unknown transaction
$ cat a
a
corrupt journal test
$ echo "foo" > .hg/store/journal
$ hg recover
rolling back interrupted transaction
couldn't read journal entry 'foo\n'!
