dirstate-v2: Introduce a docket file...
dirstate-v2: Introduce a docket file .hg/dirstate now only contains some metadata to point to a separate data file named .hg/dirstate.{}.d with a random hexadecimal identifier. For now every update creates a new data file and removes the old one, but later we’ll (usually) append to an existing file. Separating into two files allows doing the "write to a temporary file then atomically rename into destination" dance with only a small docket file, without always rewriting a lot of data.

Mercurial

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool for software developers.

Basic install:

$ make            # see install targets
$ make install    # do a system-wide install
$ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
$ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

$ make local      # build for inplace usage
$ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

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

Notes for packagers

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported configuration.
