lfs: verify lfs object content when transferring to and from the remote store This avoids inserting corrupt files into the usercache, and local and remote stores. One down side is that the bad file won't be available locally for forensic purposes after a remote download. I'm thinking about adding an 'incoming' directory to the local lfs store to handle the download, and then move it to the 'objects' directory after it passes verification. That would have the additional benefit of not concatenating each transfer chunk in memory until the full file is transferred. Verification isn't needed when the data is passed back through the revlog interface or when the oid was just calculated, but otherwise it is on by default. The additional overhead should be well worth avoiding problems with file based remote stores, or buggy lfs servers. Having two different verify functions is a little sad, but the full data of the blob is mostly passed around in memory, because that's what the revlog interface wants. The upload function, however, chunks up the data. It would be ideal if that was how the content is always handled, but that's probably a huge project. I don't really like printing the long hash, but `hg debugdata` isn't a public interface, and is the only way to get it. The filelog and revision info is nowhere near this area, so recommending `hg verify` is the easiest thing to do.

WiX installer source files
==========================

The files in this folder are used by the thg-winbuild [1] package
building architecture to create a Mercurial MSI installer. These files
are versioned within the Mercurial source tree because the WXS files
must kept up to date with distribution changes within their branch. In
other words, the default branch WXS files are expected to diverge from
the stable branch WXS files. Storing them within the same repository is
the only sane way to keep the source tree and the installer in sync.

The MSI installer builder uses only the mercurial.ini file from the
contrib/win32 folder, the contents of which have been historically used
to create an InnoSetup based installer. The rest of the files there are
ignored.

The MSI packages built by thg-winbuild require elevated (admin)
privileges to be installed due to the installation of MSVC CRT libraries
under the C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS folder. Thus the InnoSetup installers may
still be useful to some users.

To build your own MSI packages, clone the thg-winbuild [1] repository
and follow the README.txt [2] instructions closely. There are fewer
prerequisites for a WiX [3] installer than an InnoSetup installer, but
they are more specific.
