windows-ci: temporarily allow Windows jobs to fail We have unfortunately ran out of free credit on the runners we were using from OVH for the Windows CI. We will be disabling the two remaining ones on the 30th of September, hence we need the CI to pass even if Windows jobs cannot start as a temporary measure. Hopefully we can find another way of getting Windows runners soon. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D11499

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.
