curses: do not initialize LC_ALL to user settings (issue6358) 701341f57ceb moved the setlocale() call to right before curses was used. This didn’t fully solve the problem it was supposed to solve (locale-dependent functions, like date formatting/parsing and str methods on Python 2), but only postponed it. Initializing LC_CTYPE seems to be sufficient for curses to work correctly. Therefore LC_CTYPE is set while curses is used and reset afterwards. Some locale-dependent str methods might behave differently on Python 2 while curses is used, but that shouldn’d be a problem.

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.
