Fix `cli` module by passing the expected argument

Summary

There is currently no end-to-end test to catch this regression.
I'm not certain whether there is something in place to write such tests,
but this is already better to have a working cli.

Test Plan

Should there be a simple end-to-end test, like the .t files we have in
mercurial itself?

Nice catch.

Well, it's not currently covered by test so your change is fine.
Also see [2]

It's more a toy to use locally, see the storage here for example is an in-memory one (no persistence).

Come to think of it now, by the way, the visit-date input should also be wrong, if provided it should be parsed the same way the tasks module do now...

[2] And by the way, to actually run the loader through the cli now, one should use:

swh loader run mercurial ...

or

swh loader run mercurial_from_disk

All in all, we should probably deprecate this module... and mention what i just told you...

I have no issue with deprecating this module if there is a more canonical way of doing the same thing, the mercurial-specific README will have to be adjusted, I simply tried the first example and got a traceback. :)

Yes, it's the same cli way for loaders now.

swh loader run <loader-type> ...

The list of supported loaders is seen with swh loader list iirc

the mercurial-specific README will have to be adjusted,

Agreed.

And thanks for trying to fix it ;)

D5138 deprecates that cli.
D5132 updates the readme to mention the good cli to use.
