match: don't print explicitly listed files with wrong case (BC) On case-insensitive file systems, if file A exists and you try to remove it (or add, etc.) by specifying a different case, you will see something like this: $ hg rm a removing file A I honestly found this surprising because it seems to me like it was explicitly listed by the user. Still, there is a comment in the code describing it, so it is very clearly intentional. The code was added in baa11dde8c0e (match: add a subclass for dirstate normalizing of the matched patterns, 2015-04-12). I'm going to do a lot of refactoring to matchers and the feature mentioned above is going to get in my way. I'm therefore removing it for the time being and we can hopefully add it back when I'm done.

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.
