The latest py3 is used if the minor number isn't specified.  After running the
script to install all of the build dependencies, that moved the default from 3.8
to 3.9 on the CI system.  That in turn caused a bunch of tests to be skipped
that were running prior, even when the test runner was invoked with `py -3.8`.
While we should almost always use the latest version, we really shouldn't make
it hard to test different versions or allow things to randomly break in subtle
ways like that.

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.
