check out an ancestor commit

Update to an ancestor commit of the current commit. When working with a stack of commits, you can use sl previous to move down your stack with ease.

Use the --newest flag to always pick the newest of multiple parents commits. You can set amend.alwaysnewest to true in your global Sapling config file to make this the default.
Use the --merge flag to bring along uncommitted changes to the destination commit.
Use the --bookmark flag to move to the first ancestor commit with a bookmark.

Examples:

Move 1 level down the stack:

sl prev

Move 2 levels down the stack:

sl prev 2

Move to the bottom of the stack:

sl prev --bottom
