util: raise ParseError when parsing dates (BC)...
util: raise ParseError when parsing dates (BC) a7dce526c462 refactored util.parsedate in order to raise ValueError instead of Abort for using with ui.configwith. It causes several problems, putting arbitrary bytes in ValueError can cause issues with Python 3. Moreover, we added a function to convert ValueError exceptions back to Abort. A better approach would be to make parsedate raises ParseError, removing the convert function and update configwith to also catch ParseError. The side-effect is that error message when giving an invalid date in CLI change from: abort: invalid date: 'foo bar' to: hg: parse error: invalid date: 'foo bar' I'm not sure if it's an acceptable change, I found personally the error message more clear but more verbose too.

Mercurial for Plan 9 from Bell Labs
===================================

This directory contains support for Mercurial on Plan 9 from Bell Labs
platforms. It is assumed that the version of Python running on these
systems supports the ANSI/POSIX Environment (APE). At the time of this
writing, the bichued/python port is the most commonly installed version
of Python on these platforms. If a native port of Python is ever made,
some minor modification will need to be made to support some of the more
esoteric requirements of the platform rather than those currently made
(cf. posix.py).

By default, installations will have the factotum extension enabled; this
extension permits factotum(4) to act as an authentication agent for
HTTP repositories. Additionally, an extdiff command named 9diff is
enabled which generates diff(1) compatible output suitable for use with
the plumber(4).

Commit messages are plumbed using E if no editor is defined; users must
update the plumbed file to continue, otherwise the hg process must be
interrupted.

Some work remains with regard to documentation. Section 5 manual page
references for hgignore and hgrc need to be re-numbered to section 6 (file
formats) and a new man page writer should be written to support the
Plan 9 man macro set. Until these issues can be resolved, manual pages
are elided from the installation.

Basic install:

% mk install # do a system-wide install
% hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
% hg # see help

A proto(2) file is included in this directory as an example of how a
binary distribution could be packaged, ostensibly with contrib(1).

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
