rust-index: honour incoming using_general_delta in `deltachain` It looks to be a leftover from some past, but the C index considers only the value passed from Python whereas up to now the Rust index was using the value of its attribute. As a middle ground, we make this argument of `deltachain` optional from the Python side, with the Rust implementation only defaulting to its attribute. This way, we reduce false leads when a difference in results is spotted.

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.
