diff: add --from and --to flags as clearer alternative to -r -r
I think it was mistake to let the `-r` flag accept two revisions in
`hg diff` in 98633e60067c (Support for 0, 1, or 2 diff revs,
2005-05-07). The command clearly acts on two revisions and having a
single flag to indicate which those are is unclear. It got worse when
it started accepting revsets as input.
This patch introduces `--from` and `--to` flags, each taking a single
revision and each defaulting to the working copy. That means that `hg

== New Features == * There is a new config section for templates used by hg commands. It is called `[command-templates]`. Some existing config options have been deprecated in favor of config options in the new section. These are: `ui.logtemplate` to `command-templates.log`, `ui.graphnodetemplate` to `command-templates.graphnode`, `ui.mergemarkertemplate` to `command-templates.mergemarker`, `ui.pre-merge-tool-output-template` to `command-templates.pre-merge-tool-output`. * There is a new set of config options for the template used for the one-line commit summary displayed by various commands, such as `hg rebase`. The main one is `command-templates.oneline-summary`. That can be overridden per command with `command-templates.oneline-summary.<command>`, where `<command>` can be e.g. `rebase`. As part of this effort, the default format from `hg rebase` was reorganized a bit. * `hg strip`, from the strip extension, is now a core command, `hg debugstrip`. The extension remains for compatibility. * `hg diff` now supports `--from <rev>` and `--to <rev>` arguments as clearer alternatives to `-r <revs>`. * The memory footprint per changeset during pull/unbundle operations has been further reduced. == New Experimental Features == == Bug Fixes == == Backwards Compatibility Changes == == Internal API Changes ==
