tests: raise a better error when patterns are wrongly formatted It is fairly easy to make mistakes when merging conflict in the pattern file. A common mistake is to forget adding an extra trailing comma changing the length of the tuple. We now detect such error and raise a better error message that helps to find it.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
