Before it just said 'nothing to rebase'.
Now 'if "base" is an empty set:
abort: empty "base" revision set - can't compute rebase set
If the set of changesets to rebase can't be found from "base", it will fail as
before but with more explanation of what the problem was.
The name of the "base" option is not obvious - it is more like "samples
identifying the branch to rebase". The error messages for problems with the
specified "base" value will use that term and might thus also not be obvious,
but at least they are consistent with the option name. The name "base" will not
be used if the base only was specified implicitly as the working directory
parent.
Rebase also have a plain `--rev` option used to select the rebase set (as
`--base` or `--source` would). But the content of the --rev option was intended
for the remote repo and is irrelevant for the local rebase operation. We expect
`hg pull --rebase` to stick with the default behavior here:
hg rebase --base . --dest tip(branch(.))
The `rev` option is dropped from the option passed to rebase.
Many tests didn't change back from subdirectories at the end of the tests ...
and they don't have to. The missing 'cd ..' could always be added when another
test case is added to the test file.
This change do that tests (99.5%) consistently end up in $TESTDIR where they
started, thus making it simpler to extend them or move them around.
Globbing is usually used for filenames, so on windows it is reasonable and very
convenient that glob patterns accepts '\' or '/' when the pattern specifies
'/'.
