update: mention long options explicitly in description of merge.update() The short options "-c" and "-C" may be confusing for a novice reading the documentation. Let's try to be more explicit, also mentioning the equivalent long options ("--check" and "--clean") in the comments.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

 $ 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
