automation: avoid '~' in the temp directory on Windows If a long-ish username is used, the environment variable ends up with a '~' to be 8.3 path compatible. That in turn causes a handful of tests (mostly ssh related) to add quotes around $TESTMP. I have no AWS experience, so I have no idea if this is the proper way to do it. But I've hit this problem locally, and redirecting the directory is a workaround. I don't recall if the directory is created on demand by the test harness, but presumably if this is configured before the machine boots, Windows will do it for us.

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.
