It turns out that the use case I had for
exactly()was slightly more subtle, and I need range support. In particular, usage ofexactly()in expressions used byrevsets.log-graph-prioritizecan and will causejj logto fail if the assertion fails; in my case, a particular expression I use should be equal to zero-or-one revisions.This (ab)uses string literal syntax to parse out a range that is like a subset of Rust's range syntax; in particular unbounded endpoints like
x..or..=yare not supported. Ideally the grammar would be expanded to handle this case more smoothly.Checklist
