lfs: show a friendly message when pushing lfs to a server without lfs enabled Upfront disclaimer: I don't know anything about the wire protocol, and this was pretty much cargo-culted from largefiles, and then clonebundles, since it seems more modern. I was surprised that exchange.push() will ensure all of the proper requirements when exchanging between two local repos, but doesn't care when one is remote. All this new capability marker does is inform the client that the extension is enabled remotely. It may or may not contain commits with external blobs. Open issues: - largefiles uses 'largefiles=serve' for its capability. Someday I hope to be able to push lfs blobs to an `hg serve` instance. That will probably require a distinct capability. Should it change to '=serve' then? Or just add an 'lfs-serve' capability then? - The flip side of this is more complicated. It looks like largefiles adds an 'lheads' command for the client to signal to the server that the extension is loaded. That is then converted to 'heads' and sent through the normal wire protocol plumbing. A client using the 'heads' command directly is kicked out with a message indicating that the largefiles extension must be loaded. We could do similar with 'lfsheads', but then a repo with both largefiles and lfs blobs can't be pushed over the wire. Hopefully somebody with more wire protocol experience can think of something else. I see 'x-hgarg-1' on some commands in the tests, but not on heads, and didn't dig any further.

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.
