treemanifest: set requires at repo creation time, ignore config after The very next changeset will start writing one revlog per directory when tree manifests are enabled. That is backwards incompatible, so it requires .hg/requires to be updated. Just like with generaldelta, we want to update .hg/requires only when the repo is created. Updating ..hg/requires is bad for repos on shared disk. Instead, those who do want to upgrade a repo to using treemanifest (or manifestv2, etc) can run hg clone --config experimental.treemanifest repo clone which will create a new repo with the requirement set. Unlike the case of e.g. generaldelta, it will not rewrite the changesets, since tree manifests hash differently.

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.
