merge: refuse update/merge if there are unresolved conflicts (BC) We currently allow updating and merging (with --force) when there are unresolved merge conflicts, as long as there is only one parent of the working copy. Even worse, when updating to another revision (linearly), if one of the unresolved files (including any conflict markers in the working copy) can now be merged cleanly with the target revision, the file becomes marked as resolved. While we could potentially allow updates that affect only files that are not in the set of unresolved files, that's considerably more work, and we don't have a use case for it anyway. Instead, let's keep it simple and refuse any merge or update (without -C) when there are unresolved conflicts. Note that test-merge-local.t explicitly checks for conflict markers that get carried over on update. It's unclear if that was intentional or not, but it seems bad enough that we should forbid it. The simplest way of fixing the test case is to leave the conflict markers in place and just mark the files resolved, so let's just do that for now.

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.
