    strip: don't use "full" and "partial" to describe bundles · 769aee32
    Martin von Zweigbergk authored
    The partial bundle is not a subset of the full bundle, and the full
    bundle is not full in any way that i see. The most obvious
    interpretation of "full" I can think of is that it has all commits
    back to the null revision, but that is not what the "full" bundle
    is. The "full" bundle is simply a backup of what the user asked us to
    strip (unless --no-backup). The "partial" bundle contains the
    revisions we temporarily stripped because they had higher revision
    numbers that some commit that the user asked us to strip.
    
    The "full" bundle is already called "backup" in the code, so let's use
    that in user-facing messages too. Let's call the "partial" bundle
    "temporary" in the code.
