packaging: rename hgrc.d to defaultrc for Windows config files next to the exe The code and the help still says that it will read hgrc.d next to the executable. But this directory needs to exist to read the resource based config files. Otherwise even `hg version` errors out: $ /c/Program\ Files/Mercurial/hg.exe version Traceback (most recent call last): File "hg", line 43, in <module> File "mercurial\dispatch.pyc", line 110, in run File "mercurial\dispatch.pyc", line 226, in dispatch File "mercurial\ui.pyc", line 308, in load File "mercurial\rcutil.pyc", line 99, in rccomponents File "mercurial\rcutil.pyc", line 69, in default_rc_resources File "mercurial\utils\resourceutil.pyc", line 84, in contents WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'c:\\Program Files\\mercurial\\defaultrc\\*.*' Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7981

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
