External hooks will probably turn around and run hg commands, so this seems like
a reasonable convenience for people who miss it in the documentation.

There are no test changes because `printenv.py` filters out anything without a
"HG_" prefix.  It wouldn't be a useful test anyway, because this is already
inherited from the test environment.

History

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.
