crecord: avoid duplicating lines when reverting noeol->eol change When reversing a patch that looks like this while using crecord: ``` @@ -301,4 +302,4 @@ zza zzb zzc zzd -zze \ No newline at end of file +zze ``` we would previously reverse the `-zze` line to be an add, encounter the "no newline" line and stop inspecting lines. This caused us to duplicate the line, producing `zzezze` (still without a newline). `break` is the correct action if we know there will be no lines afterwards, as would be the case in an eol -> noeol transition. It is incorrect if there are lines afterward, such as if both sides are missing the newline or if only the lhs is missing the newline. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12441

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.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
