bookmarks: test for exchanging long bookmark names (issue5165) As far as I can tell a test for a long bookmark name never actually got added when this was fixed. Let's document that a 300 byte bookmark is something we're supporting (this patch started out life over a year ago as a way for me to validate the problem, and I recently found it.) I think the nonzero exits from the push operations are only because no new changesets get exchanged. Please correct me if I'm wrong on that. :) Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2727

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.
