changegroup: introduce safeversion() In a few places (at least repair.py and shelve.py), we want to find the best changegroup version that we can assume users of the repo will understand. For example, we choose version 01 by default, but if it's a generaldelta repo, we expect clients to support version 02 anyway, so we choose that for new bundles (for e.g. "hg strip"). Let's create a helper for this functionality in changegroup, so we can reuse it elsewhere later.

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.
