largefiles: always create the cache and standin directories when cloning The standin matcher only works if the .hglf directory exists (and it won't exist if 'clone -U' is used, unless --all-largefiles is also specified). Since not even 'update -r null' will get rid of the standin directory, this ensures that the standin directory always exists if the repo has the 'largefiles' requirement. This requirement is only set after a largefile is committed, so these directories will not be created for repos that have the extension enabled but have not committed a largefile. With the standin directory in place, 'lfconvert --to-normal' will now be able to download the required largefiles when converting a repo that was created with 'clone -U', and whose files are not in the usercache. The downloadlfiles command could probably be put inside the 'largefiles' requirement conditional too, but given that the user specified --all-largefiles, there is likely an expectation to print out the number of largefiles downloaded, even if it is 0.

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 http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
