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

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.
