dirstate: drop workaround for '.' matching root directory The check was added in 31abcae33b4f (dirstate: do not ignore current directory '.' (issue 1078), 2008-04-05) to fix issue1078. Funnily enough, comment #2 on that issue mentions using '' instead of '.' to represent the root directory, just like my previous patch did. test-hgignore.t fails with this patch without the previous patch.

for software developers.

 $ 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
