This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.

FWIW, this might be changed to non-error so that "file()" revset can be used at server side.
Since fileset and revset languages are syntactically close, we can reparse
revset expression as a fileset. This might sound a bit scary, but helps
eliminate nested quoting like file("~glob:'*.rs'"). One oddity exists in alias
substitution, though. Another possible problem is that we'll need to add fake
operator parsing rules if we introduce incompatibility in fileset, or want to
embed revset expressions in a fileset.
Since "file(x, y)" is equivalent to "file(x|y)", the former will be deprecated.
I'll probably add a mechanism to collect warnings during parsing.
