global: use raw strings for regular expressions with escapes Escape sequences like \w, \s, and \d are technically invalid in str/bytes. This became a deprecation warning in Python 3.6 (https://bugs.python.org/issue27364). Python 3.8 bumps it to a SyntaxWarning (https://bugs.python.org/issue32912), which is non-silent by default. This commit changes a number of regular expressions to use br'' so regular expression special sequences don't need \\ literals. This fixes roughly half of the SyntaxWarning we see in the code base with Python 3.8. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5815

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.
