delta-find: finish reworking the snapshot logic and drop more layer The refining logic only applies to the snapshot logic, and this is now all contained in a dedicated method. Along the way, we drop the refined_groups // raw_groups layer as they no longer make sense. The result is a more explicit `iter_groups` method. This conclude the splitting and simplification of the groups generation. We are now ready to dispatch this in more diverse classes.

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.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
