test-lfs: add tests around corrupted lfs objects These are mostly tests against file:// based remote stores, because that's what we have the most control over. The test uploading a corrupt blob to lfs-test-server demonstrates an overly broad exception handler in the retry loop. A corrupt blob is actually transferred in a download, but eventually caught when it is accessed (only after it leaves the corrupt file in a couple places locally). I don't think we want to trust random 3rd party implementations, and this would be a problem if there were a `debuglfsdownload` command that simply cached the files. And given the cryptic errors, we should probably validate the file hash locally before uploading, and also after downloading.

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.
