convert/git: catch errors from modern git-ls-remote (issue3428) Since git v1.7.8.2-327-g926f1dd (the change was first released in git 1.7.10), git does not return non-zero when "git ls-remote --tags ..." is run and the repository is damaged. This causes the "damaged repository with missing commit" test in test-convert-git.t to unexpectedly succeed. Fix by aborting if git outputs any lines beginning with "error:", which required adding some subprocess use in convert/git.py.

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.
