cmdserver: add service that listens on unix domain socket and forks process Typical use case of 'unix' mode is a background hg daemon. $ hg serve --cmdserver unix --cwd / -a /tmp/hg-`id -u`.sock Unlike 'pipe' mode in which parent process keeps stdio channel, 'unix' server can be detached. So clients can freely connect and disconnect from server, saving Python start-up time. It might be better to write "--cmdserver socket -a unix:/sockpath" instead of "--cmdserver unix -a /sockpath" in case hgweb gets the ability to listen on unix domain socket.

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.
