obsolete: disable other evolution config options if createmarkers is off We used to raise an abort in this case, but recent changes to local clone command (377d8fc20e34) resulted in destrepo both caring about experimental.evolution config options and not initializing extensions. So imagine if you had evolve and allowdivergence enabled in your ~/.hgrc. Local clone stopped working after 377d8fc20e34 because evolve sets experimental.evolution=all, but only on srcrepo, for destrepo the extension is not initialized. It's possible to make local cloning work by initializing extensions for destrepo in some cases, but in other cases (e.g. allowdivergence in ~/.hgrc, evolve extension in original-repo/.hg/hgrc) it would still fail. In a discussion with Pierre-Yves David it was decided to simply force other evolution options to be false if createmarkers is not enabled.

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.
