This option had very limited utility and counterintuitive behavior and
collided unfortunately with the much later -B option.
Normally we would no-op such a feature so as to avoid annoying existing
scripts. However, we have to weigh that against the silent misbehavior
that results when users mistakenly intended to use -B: because -b
takes no arg, the bookmark gets interpreted as a normal revision, and
gets stripped without removing the associated bookmark, while also not
backing up the revision in question. A no-op behavior or warning would only
remove the latter half of the misadventure.
The only users I can find of this feature were using it in error and
have since stopped. The few (if any) remaining users of this feature
would be better served by --no-backup.
In case we have revs to strip, delete the bookmark after the strip succeeds, not
beforehand as we might still abort due to dirty working directory, etc.
When updating to a bookmark, mention that the bookmark is now
active. This is a reminder that update does not move the
current bookmark if an explicit target is given - instead
it activates that target.
Previously the fncache was cleaned up at read time by noticing when it was out
of sync. This caused writes to happen outside the scope of transactions and
could have caused race conditions. With this change, we'll keep the fncache
up-to-date as we go by removing old entries during repair.strip.
