bisect: limit ancestors to revs topologically between good and bad revs Previously, when constructing its dict of revisions to their ancestors, bisect would populate the dict with ALL of the descendents of the good set, which is a bit silly because it is impossible for a revision that is a descendent of the minimum known bad revision to be the first bad rev. Instead it makes more sense to limit the revisions to just those topologically between the good and bad.

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.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
