fastannotate: use repo.local() This is the proper way to check whether we're dealing with a local repository, since extensions should be coding to an interface and not testing for exact types. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4542

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.
