run-tests.py: fix handling of symlink to the right python Before: a symlink for python in BINDIR was sometimes created, but it was never updated when a different Python was used and it was never removed. An invalid python could thus be left around and used when testing with --local. Now: the symlink is removed when wrong and created when necessary. The mechanism for finding the right name (python or python.exe) also had to be simplified and made more explicit.

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 http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
