revert: do not reverse hunks in interactive when REV is not parent (
issue5096)
And introduce a new "apply" operation verb for this case as suggested in
issue5096. This replaces the no longer used "revert" operation.
In interactive revert, when reverting to something else that the parent
revision, display an "apply this change" message with a diff that is not
reversed.
The rationale is that `hg revert -i -r REV` will show hunks of the diff from
the working directory to REV and prompt the user to select them for applying
(to working directory). This contradicts
dcc56e10c23b in which it was
decided to have the "direction" of prompted hunks reversed. Later on
[1], there was a broad consensus (but no decision) towards the "as to
be applied direction". Now that --interactive is no longer experimental
(
5910db5d1913), it's time to switch and thus we drop no longer used
"experimental.revertalternateinteractivemode" configuration option.

.. feature::
When interactive revert is run against a revision other than the working
directory parent, the diff shown is the diff to *apply* to the working directory,
rather than the diff to *discard* from the working copy. This is in line with
related user experiences with `git` and appears to be less confusing with
`ui.interface=curses`.
pathutil: use util.pathto() to calculate relative cwd in canonpath()
os.path.relpath() exploded if the 'root' and 'cwd' directories had different
drive letters. I noticed this in TortoiseHg when typing a fileset into the
filter, and it kept complaining until the closing '()' was typed. This was
reproducible on the command line with:
$ cd /d
$ hg -R /c/Users/Matt/Projects/hg files 'set:e'
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "mercurial\pathutil.pyc", line 182, in canonpath
File "ntpath.pyc", line 529, in relpath
ValueError: path is on drive c:, start on drive d:
patch: improve heuristics to not take the word "diff" as header (
issue1879)
The word "diff" is likely to appear in a commit message. Let's make it less
likely by requiring "diff -" for "diff -r" or "diff --git".
rebase: drop --style option
It existed from the very start, but I don't think the rebase command does
support log-like templates.
run-tests: $TESTDIR can be something else than $PWD
$TESTDIR is expected to be the directory were the test lives, and is often used
to reference helper functions. However, it is now set to $PWD at test invocation
time, so if `run-tests.py` is called from another folder, the test will fail.
The solution is to force $TESTDIR to be the base directory of the test itself,
irrespective of where the runner is called from.
