help: describe about choice of :prompt as a fallback merge tool explicitly "merge-tools" help topic has described that the merge of the file fails if no tool is found to merge binary or symlink, since c77f6276c9e7 (or Mercurial 1.7), which based on (already removed) MergeProgram wiki page. But even at that revision, and of course now, merge of the file doesn't fail automatically for binary/symlink. ":prompt" (or equivalent logic) is used, if there is no appropriate tool configuration for binary/symlink.

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.
