tests: use an absolute path to get around '..' being invalid on a dead CWD Only FreeBSD seems to be this picky. Note that this explicit absolute-path `cd` exposes a defect in the test, in that we end up still inside the cwd-vanish repository, but that's not a regression in this change. Since we're in a code freeze, I'm doing the smallest thing possible to try and fix bugs on FreeBSD, rather than cleaning up the entire problem. I'll follow up with a more complete fix after the freeze.

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.
