sshpeer: defer pipe buffering and stderr sidechannel binding The doublepipe and bufferedinputpipe types facilitate polling multiple pipes without blocking and for automatically forwarding output from the SSH server's stderr pipe to the ui as "remote: " output. This all happens automatically and callers don't need to worry about reading from multiple pipes. An upcoming change to version 2 of the SSH wire protocol will eliminate the use of stderr and move side-channel output into the "main" pipe. The SSH wire protocol will use a pair of unidirectional pipes - just like the HTTP protocol. In this future world, the doublepipe primitive isn't necessary because the stderr pipe won't be used. To prepare for eventually not using doublepipe, we delay the construction of this primitive from immediately after connection establishment to inside construction of the peer instance. The handshake occurs between these two events. So we had to teach the handshake code to read from stderr so any stderr output from the server is still attended to early in the connection lifetime.

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.
