mq: report correct numbers for changing "number of guarded, applied patches" Before this patch, "hg qselect" may report incorrect numbers for "number of guarded, applied patches has changed", because it examines "pushable" of patches by the index not in "the series" but in "applied patches", even though "mq.pushable()" expects the former. To report correct numbers for changing "number of guarded, applied patches", this patch uses the name of applied patch to examine pushable-ness of it. This patch also changes the result of existing "hg qselect" tests, because they doesn't change pushable-ness of already applied patches. This patch assumes that "hg qselect" focuses on changing pushable-ness only of already applied patches, because: - the report message uses not "previous" (in the series) but "applied" - the logic to pop patches for --pop/--reapply examines pushable-ness only of already applied ones (in fact, there are some incorrect code paths)

    <h1>Mercurial for Windows</h1>

    <p>Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!</p>

    <p>
      Mercurial is a command-line application. You must run it from
      the Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a <a
      href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> shell).
    </p>

    <p class="indented">
      <i>Note: the standard <a href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a>
      msys startup script uses rxvt which has problems setting up
      standard input and output. Running bash directly works
      correctly.</i>
    </p>

    <p>
      For documentation, please visit the <a
      href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/">Mercurial web site</a>.
      You can also download a free book, <a
      href="http://hgbook.red-bean.com/">Mercurial: The Definitive
      Guide</a>.
    </p>

    <p>
      By default, Mercurial installs to <tt>C:\Program
      Files\Mercurial</tt>. The Mercurial command is called
      <tt>hg.exe</tt>.
    </p>

    <h1>Testing Mercurial after you've installed it</h1>

    <p>
      The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is
      to just type the following at the command prompt:
    </p>

    <pre>
hg
</pre>

    <p>
      This command should print a useful help message. If it does,
      other Mercurial commands should work fine for you.
    </p>

    <h1>Configuration notes</h1>
    <h4>Default editor</h4>
    <p>
      The default editor for commit messages is 'notepad'. You can set
      the <tt>EDITOR</tt> (or <tt>HGEDITOR</tt>) environment variable
      to specify your preference or set it in <tt>mercurial.ini</tt>:
    </p>
    <pre>
[ui]
editor = whatever
</pre>

    <h4>Configuring a Merge program</h4>
    <p>
      It should be emphasized that Mercurial by itself doesn't attempt
      to do a Merge at the file level, neither does it make any
      attempt to Resolve the conflicts.
    </p>

    <p>
      By default, Mercurial will use the merge program defined by the
      <tt>HGMERGE</tt> environment variable, or uses the one defined
      in the <tt>mercurial.ini</tt> file. (see <a
      href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MergeProgram">MergeProgram</a>
      on the Mercurial Wiki for more information)
