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.

With this change in place, we should have slightly stronger guarantees about how modules with both Python and C implementations are loaded. Before, our module loader's default policy looked under both mercurial/* and mercurial/pure/* and imported whatever it found, C or pure. The fact it looked in both locations by default was a temporary regression from the beginning of this series. This patch does 2 things: 1) Changes the default module load policy to only load C modules 2) Verifies that files loaded from mercurial/* are actually C modules This 2nd behavior change makes our new module loading mechanism stricter than from before this series. Before, it was possible to load a .py-based module from mercurial/*. This could happen if an old installation orphaned a file and then somehow didn't install the C version for the new install. We now detect this odd configuration and fall back to loading the pure Python module, assuming it is allowed. In the case of a busted installation, we fail fast. While we could fall back, we explicitly decide not to do this because we don't want people accidentally not running the C modules and having slow performance as a result.
