changeset 1575:d26f235323db draft

Find changesets by keywords (author, files, the commit message), revision number or hash, or revset expression.
Update dmesg, loosely based on a patch from Elliott Hughes. Probe the default buffer size, replace the constants with FLAG_x macros, add -r, replace the byte at a time output with a single xwrite(), more comments.
