config: introduce default at = @
revset alias
When using Windows, `@` is a bit of an annoyance to type in the terminal due to Windows Terminal escape rules, so you actually have to write it with a backtick in front. It's annoying to remember this and not possible to configure a different behavior, as far as I can see. However, there is a smart trick you can do to make this a lot easier: just alias `@` to the name `at` and be happy. Because: - It's short: sweet and easy to read, and requires no backticks. - It's unambiguous: `a` is from commit alphabet, but `t` is from the change alphabet - It can be typed without a huge loss in efficiency (and one hand, assuming QWERTY). I believe it was Stephen Jennings who came up with this trick first in Discord, and I have it in my aliases, but I run into it every time I try to use JJ on a fresh Windows VM to test stuff. Let's make life a little easier for everyone and just ship this by default. Signed-off-by: Austin Seipp <aseipp@pobox.com>

## Symbols
|
||||
|
||||
The `@` expression refers to the working copy commit in the current workspace.
|
||||
In places where the `@` symbol needs to be escaped, such as inside a Windows
|
||||
terminal, you may use the name `at` instead, which is identical to `@` and
|
||||
requires no quoting.
|
||||
|
||||
Use `<workspace name>@` to refer to the working-copy commit in another
|
||||
workspace. Use `<name>@<remote>` to refer to a remote-tracking branch.
