Negative integers are +treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip, +-2 denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth. + +A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision +identifier. + +A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a +unique revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form +identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix +of exactly one full-length identifier. + +Any other string is treated as a tag or branch name. A tag name is a +symbolic name associated with a revision identifier. A branch name +denotes the tipmost revision of that branch. Tag and branch names must +not contain the ":" character. + +The reserved name "tip" is a special tag that always identifies the +most recent revision. + +The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the +revision of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0. + +The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If no +working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If an +uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the revision of the first +parent. |
