merge-tools: allow marking a mergetool as completely disabled...
merge-tools: allow marking a mergetool as completely disabled Very often in my life I'm finding that the only configured merge tool present on the system is vimdiff[0], and it's currently impossible (as far as I can tell) short of specifying `ui.merge = `[1] to actually *disable* a merge tool. This allows vimdiff-haters to put: [merge-tools] vimdiff.disable = yes in their ~/.hgrc and never see vimdiff again. I'm stopping short of putting this as a commented out entry in the sample new user hgrc (seen when a user runs `hg config --edit` with no ~/.hgrc) for now, but I might come back and do that later. 0: vimdiff is at an awkward intersection: it's usually installed by the vim package which is often installed as a vi substitute, so it's mere presence doesn't imply me wanting it, unlike (say) kdiff3. 1: There's a related problem I ran into today where specifying `ui.merge = :merge` failed because :merge isn't a command, which I think is a regression. I'll try and figure that out and at least file a bug.

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.
