chg: allows default hg path to be overridden...
chg: allows default hg path to be overridden Before this patch, chg will fall back to "hg" if neither CHGHG nor HG are set. This may have trouble if the "hg" in PATH is not compatible with chg, which can happen, for example, an old hg is installed in a virtualenv. Since it's very hard to do a quick hg version check from chg, after discussion in IRC with smf and marmoute, the quickest solution is to build a package with a hardcoded absolute hg path in chg. This patch makes it possible by adding a C macro HGPATH.

cHg
===

A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix.

Install:

$ make
$ make install

Usage:

$ chg help # show help of Mercurial
$ alias hg=chg # replace hg command
$ chg --kill-chg-daemon # terminate background server

Environment variables:

Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be
changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially
handled:

* configuration files are reloaded automatically by default.
* CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the
background command server.

The following variables are available for testing:

* CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.
* CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.
