debugdirstate: deprecate --nodates in favor of --no-dates We have supported 'no-' prefixes for boolean flag for a few years now, so I was expecting it to be --no-dates. I noticed that we have --nodates options for a few more commands (e.g. `hg diff`), but I'll leave that for another day. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4693

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.
