setup: properly package distutils in py2exe virtualenv builds Our in-repo py2exe packaging code uses virtualenvs for managing dependencies. An advantage of this is that packaging is more deterministic and reproducible. Without virtualenvs, we need to install packages in the system Python install. Packages installed by other consumers of the system Python could leak into the Mercurial package. A regression from this change was that py2exe packages contained the virtualenv's hacked distutils modules instead of the original distutils modules. (virtualenv installs a hacked distutils module because distutils uses relative path lookups that fail when running from a virtualenv.) This commit introduces a workaround so py2exe packaging uses the original distutils modules when running from a virtualenv. With this change, `import distutils` no longer fails from py2exe builds produced from a virtualenv. This fixes the regression. Furthermore, we now include all distutils modules. Before, py2exe's module finding would only find modules there were explicitly referenced in code. So, we now package a complete copy of distutils instead of a partial one. This is even better than before. # no-check-commit foo_bar function name

merge: forgot to pull before release These two changes should be part of 5.0, but we are fine leaving them out of the RC.

debugdiscovery: include the number of heads in all sets We already displayed information about heads of the common set that are either local or remote heads. We now also do so for heads of the common set that are both local and remote heads too. This is useful because various step in the set discovery algorithm have head specific optimizations.

recover: add a --[no-]verify flag For trivial cases, the cost of the verify run after `hg recover` is getting in the way. In addition for very large repositories, the cost is simply too high to be paid, making `hg recover` an unusable commands. We introduce a --verify flag, set by default. If is automatically associated with a --no-verify flag that one can use to skip the verify step. We might consider changing the default behavior in the future. However this is out of scope for this series.
