setup: raise minimum Python version to 2.7.4 On older Python versions, Mercurial is not really usable because of https://bugs.python.org/issue10211. Recently someone reported a crash on the mailing list when running Mercurial on Python 2.7.3. There was consensus that fixing compatibility for a Python version more than 7 years old is not worth it. So, instead of making Mercurial crash with an obscure exception, this patch raises the minimum Python version to 2.7.4.

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.
