helptext: update first hg version when share-safe will be released I authored the patch which added the helptext before 5.6 release hoping that my patches will make it. However they didn't before the release and were pushed after the release only. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D9410

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.
