pycompat: wrap xrange for py2 to provide efficient __contains__ The C implementation of xrange in Python 2 provides a O(n) membership test, which is noticable on pull-based clones of large repositories. Avoid this by providing a wrapper class with O(1) membership test based on the edges of the range. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4313

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
