bash_completion: do not use aliased hg if it sources a script (issue6308) I have an alias that sources a script around hg. Mercurial's bash_completion script tries to use this as its main hg binary. But sourcing a wrapper breaks Bash's completion. So this patch disables using the alias as the hg binary if it starts with "source ". Alias resolution was introduced in rev 191ab08e7099 for users with "alias hg='hg --some_opts'". See https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/rev/191ab08e7099

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
