copies: distinguish between merged and touched files during upgrade This a filenode being different between p1, p2 and result does not necessarily means a merges happens. For example p2 could be a strict newer version of p1, so the p2 version is picked by the manifest merging, but then the file is manually updated before the commit. In this case the file should be detected as touched. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10220

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.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
