tests: quote $PYTHON for Windows When unquoted, MSYS sees the colon between the drive letter and path as a Unix path separator and unhelpfully splits on it, feeding only the drive letter as the command. Much chaos ensues. I vaguely remember trying to get the test runner to use /letter/path/to/exe syntax the last time this happened, without success. I doubt a check-code rule would work, since sometimes it is quoted, and sometimes the quotes are escaped.

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.
