dirstate-v2: fix infinite loop in pure packer Due to the naive approach to path relative-ness, some tree shapes like the one introduced in the associated test could result in the packer going into an endless loop which allocated new `Node` objects endlessly until the process was killed by Linux's OOM killer.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
