convert: set LC_CTYPE around calls to Subversion bindings The Subversion bindings require that LC_CTYPE is set. However, we don’t want to set it all the time, as it changes the behavior of str methods on Python 2. The taken approach is hopefully fine-grained enough to not trigger any locale-specfic behavior of the str methods and coarse-grained enough to not clutter the code. Emulating the with-statement behavior in before() and after() should be safe, as after() is always called when before() is called. hgext.convert.hg takes a similar approach.

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.
