The syntax is slightly different from Mercurial. In Mercurial, a pattern must
be quoted like "<kind>:<needle>". In JJ, <kind> is a separate parsing node, and
it must not appear in a quoted string. This allows us to report unknown prefix
as an error.
There's another subtle behavior difference. In Mercurial, branch(unknown) is
an error, whereas our branches(literal:unknown) is resolved to an empty set.
I think erroring out doesn't make sense for JJ since branches() by default
performs substring matching, so its behavior is more like a filter.
The parser abuses DAG range syntax for now. It can be rewritten once we remove
the deprecated x:y range syntax.
I've extracted the `builtin_log_root` template for users to customize the
default templates without fully overriding them, for example I would remove
the change_id/commit_id for myself - and we discussed in Discord that leaving
those makes sense for the user to be reminded/teached that the root commit has
a change id made from z's.
