tests: conditionalize the progress timestamp for Windows It looks like for py2 on Windows, the start date is 1970. It matches the other platforms for py3, so I'm just going to match the tests and move on, given that py2 is on the way out. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D9541

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.
