streamclone: treat volatile file as "fullfile" The nodemap related file might change (or get deleted) during the stream clone in a way incompatible with the streaming process. So we introduce a new flag for this type of file and integrate it with the existing `revlog_type` field recently added to `store.walk` returns. We use that new flat to dispatch such file to the existing mechanism for "atomic replacement" file for the nodemap docket and datafile. This fix the bugs we have been adding tests for. Strictly speaking, the nodemap datafile is happened only a could maybe be used in a slightly more efficient way, however this is good enough for now.

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.
