Git refs with names containing e.g "-" are currently not accepted
symbol names, and I don't plan to change the grammar to accept
them. Instead, let's have the user quote symbol names containing
unusual characters. That way we can keep these symbols reserved for
revset operators.
With this patch the user can do e.g. `jj diff -r '"v2.9.0-rc2"'`.
This adds `children(<set>)` and `<set>:` for the children of the given
set, and `descendants(<set>)` and `<set>:*` for the descendants of the
given set. The children and descendants are filtered to be among
ancestors of non-obsolete commits. I haven't added a way of overriding
that yet.
This is especially important now that we leak the rule names into the
`SyntaxError` message. For example, the error message when doing `jj
diff -r :` will now mention "expected parents_op, ancestors_op, or
primary". It seems much clearer with the "_op" suffixes there. Longer
term, we should think more about how we can best surface syntax errors
from the library crate.
This adds `parents(foo)` and `ancestors(foo)` as alternative ways of
writing `:foo` and `*:foo`.
I haven't added support for for whitespace yet; the parsing is very
strict. The error messages will also need to be improved later.
