revlog-split: make sure the self._indexfile attribut is reset (issue6811) Before this change, after a transaction committing a file split, a revlog object would have its `self._indexfile` attribute desynchronised from the actual file storing the data. If that same object is reused (as we do for the manifest during clone bundles), this lead to the data being writting in the wrong location and the repository to go corrupt. We not properly reset the attribut when applicable and everything is back in working order.

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.
