revset: enforce "%d" to be interpreted as literal revision number (API) (BC) Before this change, `formatspec("%d", x)` results in `"%d" % int(x)`. This seems simple and correct until you consider `nullrev`. In revset, a direct "-1" symbol is equivalent to `tip` not `nullrev`. This is a subtle error that went undetected for a while. Wrapping the revision number inside 'rev()' remove the ambiguity, preserving nullrev value passed to formatspec. It got caught by the rebase code, were the following wrongly returned `[1]`: repo.revs("children(%d) and ancestors(%ld)", 0, [nullrev]) This is flagged as API, because `%d` can be used for non-revision integer argument of revset function. We probably need to introduce a new '%…' substitution to allow literal integer (maybe `%i`). However, the `%d` usage is currently widespread for revision number so it is important to fix this issue for `%d`. This choice is reinforced by the fact _intlist is implemented as revisions only. Restricting `%d` to revision only makes things more consistent. This bug can become especially tricky since `_intlist` recognize `nullrev` right. So `revs('%ld', [-1, 0])` → select `[nullrev, 0]` but `revs('%ld', [-1])` is simplified and treated as `%d` selecting `[tip]`. Another side effect is that "%d" of an unknown revision simply match nothing. It was previously raising and error. This is consistent with what "%ld" (and `_intlist`) is doing, so it seems like a good move.

revset: remove the last usage of "%d" for a non-revision entry In order to fix an important bug, we are about to narrow the semantic of "%d" in revset. This is one of the few exceptions that we need to get rid of before being able to fix the bug. See the later semantic narrowing changeset for full rationale on the semantic change.
