I understand this will be useful in a certain branch strategy, but the
proposed syntax is hardly extensible. Maybe it can be a non-wildcard argument
of `stringmatcher` type so we can at least add another option later.
Any thoughts? Do anyone love this feature?
If we had a syntax to filter revisions by sub expression, this and the
samebranch option could be expressed as follows:
```
merge() & filter($a, p2($a) & branch("..."))
merge() & filter($a, samebranch(parents($a)))
where filter(argname, boolean-expr)
```
This is much more expressive (or verbose) and can support other types of
branches, but is hard to implement.
