REVISION SUMMARY
  I don't see a reason to support type long. It's pretty much the same
  type as int. There was some discussion about it on the mailing list
  around the time of https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/rHGff2f90503d64ccd462c5526b7e389f96fdf0fcca (context: work around `long` not
  existing on Python 3, 2017-03-11), but I couldn't find a good reason
  to keep it. There was some mention of hgtk doing "repo[long(rev)]",
  but that was in 2012.
