This tool is like the collection of tools found in a unix environment but are
cross platform and stable and suitable for our needs in the test suite.

The main reason it is "needed" now is for hexdump of revision branch cache to
keep an eye on how it changes and make sure the format is stable.

It is a very generic tool that can end up being used a lot in tests, so I gave
it very generic name.

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 http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
