Make rev 2345:acbed367 use hash not revision number Change regexp to make rev[whitespace][rev#]:[hash] refer to repo using hash not rev#. Similar for hg[whitespace][rev#]:[hash]. Also enhance quicktest to search for input token in output by default. Set substr=False on invocation if you don't want this check. Using substr can show incorrect parsing/reconstitution of original string in output.
