aggressivemergedelta: document rename and move to `revlog` section...
aggressivemergedelta: document rename and move to `revlog` section The config does not follow our naming guideline and "Aggressive" is probably a word to keep away from users. The option does not truly fit in the `format` section. It can be turned on and off for existing repository without much consequence regarding compatibility. A new `revlog` option is created to control behavior related to revlog writing and reading. We can see multiple other config options that could be migrated there. * format.maxchainlen * experimental.mmapindexthreshold * experimental.sparse-read.density-threshold (in an updated form) * experimental.sparse-read.min-gap-size (in an updated form) In addition, we can foresee at least a couple of sparse-revlog related option coming too (to reduce delta chain length and increase snapshot reuse) These two extra options might fit there too. Unless we want to create a section dedicated to caches and performance. * format.chunkcachesize * format.manifestcachesize For now, we only migrate `optimize-delta-parent-choice` since it is getting out of experimental. It is too close to the release to move the other one. In addition, we still lack proper the prioritization of alias that would help renaming them without bad consequence for users. (Not fully happy about the `revlog` name but could not find better).

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.
