encoding: use s.decode to trigger UnicodeDecodeError When calling encode on a str, the string is first decoded using the default encoding and then encoded. So s.encode('ascii') == s.decode().encode('ascii') We don't care about the encode step here -- we're just after the UnicodeDecodeError raised by decode if it finds a non-ASCII character. This way is also marginally faster since it saves the construction of the extra str object.

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.
