keepalive: ensure `close_all()` actually closes all cached connections While debugging why LFS blob downloads are getting corrupted with workers, I noticed that prior to spinning up the workers, the ConnectionManager has 2 connections to the server and calling `KeepAliveHandler.close_all()` left one behind. The reason is the value component of `self._cm.get_all().items()` is a list, and `self._cm.remove()` modifies said list while the caller is iterating over it. Now `get_all()` is a deep copy of both the dict and lists in all cases.

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.
