share: add --relative flag to store a relative path to the source Storing a relative path the source repository is useful when exporting repositories over the network or when they're located on external drives where the mountpoint isn't always fixed. Currently, Mercurial interprets paths in `.hg/shared` relative to $PWD. I suspect this is very much unintentional, and you have to manually edit `.hg/shared` in order to trigger this behaviour. However, on the off chance that someone might rely on it, I added a new capability called 'relshared'. In addition, this makes earlier versions of Mercurial fail with a graceful error. I should note that I haven't tested this patch on Windows.

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
