cmdutil: avoid recycling variable name "name" in namespaces code This just feels like asking for future trouble and confusion.

update: fix bare update to work on new branch So far bare update on new branch results in 'abort: branch new-branch not found'. This commit fixes this by updating to the parent of wctx. The effect of updating to the parent of wctx is to move to the paren't branch - this means that it is no longer necessary to prevent you from updating if you would lose your newly created branch.

remove: fix --force option help description (issue5177) Before this commit --force option help description stated that file was removed and deleted even if file was added or modified which is not true. Force option removes added file only from dirstate, it doesn't delete it from the filesystem.

logtoprocess: new experimental extension This extension lets you direct specific ui.log() information to shell commands, spawned in the background. This can be used to, say, capture timings, commandfailure tracebacks, etc., making the output available to other command-line tools.

convert: keep converted hg parents that are outside convert.hg.revs (BC) Before, when converting revisions without also including their already converted parents in convert.hg.revs, the parents would no longer be parents. That seems unfortunate and we dare to assume that nobody ever wants that. Instead, preserve parents that are outside the current convert range but already have been converted. The parents returned in getcommit() are unconditionally converted, so we introduce a separate optparents with optional parents.

tests: coverage of ancestry with convert in multiple non-overlapping steps This exposes that parent information is lost in cases where it is possible to preserve it - and where it thus would make sense if that was what happened.

revset: rename findaliases() to expandaliases() This function returns a full tree of alias expansion applied, which sounds different from what "findaliases" would do.
