cHg

===

A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix.

Install:

 $ make

 $ make install

Usage:

 $ chg help                 # show help of Mercurial

 $ alias hg=chg             # replace hg command

 $ chg --kill-chg-daemon    # terminate background server

Environment variables:

Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be

changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially

handled:

 * configuration files are reloaded automatically by default.

 * CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the

   background command server.

The following variables are available for testing:

 * CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.

 * CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.

 * CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up

   connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60

Build environment variables:

 * HGPATH: the path to the hg executable to call when CHGHG and HG are not set,

   instead of "hg"

 * HGPATHREL=1: when CHGHG and HG are not set, the hg executable will be ./hg

   relative to the chg executable. Only works on linux, falls back to "hg"

   otherwise.
