hg pull: more query fixes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hg pull: more query fixes Pull was getting confused by single-element branches because it had seen the top end already. Also, the previous change to do seenbranch on the base of the branch was bogus. Minor cleanup and a bit more diagnostics in the branch-narrowing code. manifest hash: 71d4dced9f74bef43d3a54d086dccd0a96d68e26 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCrjLgywK+sNU5EO8RAsxSAJ92U31Pz7K14Ctje4SEec2857Ut7QCgoVwY ho65mloslCSidLsEnxYfBDI= =Wts9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
