manifestmerge: local unknown, remote created: don't traverse symlinks To figure out what to do with locally unknown files, Mercurial attempts to read them if they exist. When an attempt is made to read a file that exists but traverses a symlink, Mercurial aborts. With this patch, we first ensure that the file doesn't traverse a symlink before opening it. This is fine because a file being "remote created" means the symlink doesn't exist remotely, which means it will be deleted in the apply phase.

 $ 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
