tests/run-tests: avoid C:/ in arguments MSYS replaces C:/... in arguments with C;... as it interprets the C:/ as a colon separated POSIX path list. The colon is replaced with ; (path separator on Windows) according to http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Posix_path_conversion So we must not replace \ with / for neither $TESTTMP nor $TESTDIR, but we have to keep replacing \ with / for the Popen4 call of function hghave. If we don't do the latter, test-run-tests.t will fail with $ python run-tests.py --local test-run-tests.t --- C:\Users\adi\hgrepos\hg-main\tests\test-run-tests.t +++ C:\Users\adi\hgrepos\hg-main\tests\test-run-tests.t.err @@ -70,6 +70,7 @@ tested #else $ echo skipped + skipped #endif #if false An additional tweak in test-ssh.t is needed that globs away an encoded path, as it can't be translated back to $TESTTMP, because the backslashes in the output have been already encoded as %5C. This patch makes test-ssh.t pass in MSYS on Windows.

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 http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
