tests: correct quoting of double quotes in here documents used to write hooks Some shells, e.g. ksh89, will emit \" in a here document as ", while others will emit \". To be sure of getting \", we specify \\". This gets test-commit-amend.t and test-largefiles.t working on AIX.

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 http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
