revert: remove dangerous `parents` argument from `cmdutil.revert()` As we found out the hard way (thanks to spectral@ for figuring it out!), `cmdutil.revert()`'s `parents` argument must be `repo.dirstate.parents()` or things may go wrong. We had an extension that passed in the target commit as the first parent. The `hg split` command from the evolve extension seems to have made the same mistake, but I haven't looked carefully. The problem is that `cmdutil._performrevert()` calls `dirstate.normal()` on reverted files if the commit to revert to equals the first parent. So if you pass in `ctx=foo` and `parents=(foo.node(), nullid)`, then `dirstate.normal()` will be called for the revert files, even though they might not be clean in the working copy. There doesn't seem to be any reason, other than a tiny performance benefit, to passing the `parents` around instead of looking them up again in `cmdutil._performrevert()`, so that's what this patch does.
