completion: selectively use debugpathcomplete in bash_completion The current bash_completion code can be very slow in a large working directory. It always uses "hg status" to generate possibly matching files, which checks the status of every file. We often don't care about status when completing, so that cost is very high. As the new debugpathcomplete command does not check the status of files, it offers much better performance for commands that only care about completing names.

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.
