Don't abort when backup files already exist. Don't allow alternative names....
Don't abort when backup files already exist. Don't allow alternative names. Rationale: - When the user wants to revert, he shouldn't be stopped from doing this just because some old backups will be overwritten. - To not clobber important files by accident, alternative names for backup files were disabled. As the backup target now has a fixed name, the user doesn't have to be informed about the backup copy (unless --verbose)

Release Notes
-------------
2006-01-29 v0.8
* Upgrade notes:
- diff and status command are now repo-wide by default
(use 'hg diff .' for the old behavior)
- GPG signing is now done with the gpg extension
- the --text option for commit, rawcommit, and tag has been removed
- the copy/rename --parents option has been removed
* Major changes from 0.7 to 0.8:
- faster status, diff, and commit
- reduced memory usage for push and pull
- improved extension API
- new bisect, gpg, hgk, and win32text extensions
- short URLs, binary file handling, and optional gitweb skin for hgweb
- numerous new command options including log --keyword and pull --rev
- improved hooks and file filtering
2005-09-21 v0.7 with modifications
* New INI files have been added to control Mercurial's behaviour:
System-wide - C:\Mercurial\Mercurial.ini
Per-user - C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Mercurial.ini
A default version of the system-wide INI file is installed with
Mercurial. No per-user INI file is installed, but it will be
honoured if you create one.
* Windows line endings are now handled automatically and correctly by
the update and commit commands. See the INI file for how to
customise this behaviour.
* NOTE: Much of the rest of the Mercurial code does not handle Windows
line endings properly. Accordingly, the output of the diff command,
for example, will appear huge until I fix this.
* Packaged text files now have correct Windows line endings.
2005-09-21 v0.7 with modifications
* This is the first standalone release of Mercurial for Windows.
* I believe it to be mostly functional, with one exception: there is
no support yet for DOS <-> Unix line ending conversion.
