    Before this patch, if hidden changesets were specified (e.g. with
    --revision-range), rbtools would fail because Mercurial would complain
    about changesets not being found. Mercurial "pretends" it doesn't know
    about hidden changesets unless --hidden is specified.

    This patch adds --hidden to all Mercurial commands that could interact
    with hidden changesets. If the current Mercurial install doesn't support
    hidden changesets (this is detected at run time), this argument is
    stripped before command execution.

    An alternative to this implementation would require the user to pass
    --hidden to rbtools or would require the user to activate hidden
    changeset support in the rbtools config. It is the opinion of this patch
    author that things should "just work" and the user shouldn't be required
    to do anything special to get rbtools to play nice with hidden
    changesets.

    Manually testing diff --revision-range with hidden changesets.
