phases: rewrite "immutable changeset" to "public changeset" The phrase "cannot edit immutable changeset" is kind of tautological. Of course unchangeable things can't be changed. We instead mention "public" and provide a hint so that we can point to the actual problem. Even in cases where some operation other than edition cannot be performed, "public" gives the root cause that results in the "immutable" effect. There is a precedent for saying "public" instead of "immutable", for example, in `hg commit --amend`.

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.
