copies: document how 'copies' dict instances are reused We avoid copying these instances as much as we can, so it's not obvious what's safe to do with them. This patch tries to explain what is safe and what is not. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6578

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.
