merge: back out changeset a4ca0610c754 (parents order when grafting a merge) Turns out it's not enough to just swap parents, because when we do, there are unexpected bad side effects, such as a tracked file becoming untracked. These side effects need more code to be handled properly, but it's not written yet. Let's back this feature out from stable for now and some day implement it on default instead.

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.
