fileset: use filectx.isbinary() to filter out binaries in eol() Since LFS stores the binary attribute in the pointer file, this means that the file doesn't need to be downloaded in order to be skipped. This function also catches an IOError if the data can't be loaded in the non-LFS case. I wonder if it's worth storing the unix/dos attributes in the pointer file as well, though I'd expect LFS files to be binary most of the time.

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.
