This requirement supersedes `exp-compression-zstd`. However, we keep support for
the old requirement.

Strictly speaking, we do not need to add a new requirement, there are no logic
change making "new" repo incompatible with mercurial client using a version
that support `exp-compression-zstd`.

The choice to introduce a new requirement is motivated by the following:

* The previous requirement was explicitly "experimental". Using it by default
  could confuse users.

* adding support for a hypothetical third compression engine will requires new
  code, and will comes with its own requirement tool.

* We won't use it as the default for a while since I do not think we support
  zstd on all platform. I can imagine we'll gain another (unrelated but on my
  default) requirement by the time we turn this zstd by default.

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.
