We do not have an official internal API so there is not too much 
centralized doc about this. But we are slowly building one to help 
internal development.

The method I wanted to point you to is actually `repo.revs(…)` check 
that method documentation for details. This is the methods used by any 
internal piece of code that wants to run a revset.

If you input is user provided, have a look at:

	scmutil.revrange(repo, [revset_expression])
