build: don't clean __version__.py on 'make clean' in release tarballs When running 'make clean' in an extracted release tarball, file mercurial/__version__.py is removed, causing a subsequent install to indicate 'version unknown'. This problem was reported in the past [1] and a patch proposed in that mail, but was never properly sent nor applied. [1] http://selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial/2010-December/036249.html

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 http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
