test-run-tests: do not rebuild hg in the test d600bda4 and fc0f3ed0 added code to call `$PYTHON run-tests.py ...`. That will rebuild hg, is slow and could have other crashes from setup.py, like: Unable to find a working hg binary to extract the version from the repository tags Therefore use `run-tests.py -l` instead.

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.
