util: better handle '-' in version string (issue5302) versiontuple() was previously only splitting on '+' and strings like "3.9-rc" were causing it to misreport the version as (3, None). By splitting on either '+' or '-' we can handle our version strings with "-rc" in them.

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.
