revlog: deal with chunk ranges over 2G on Windows (issue4215) Python uses a C long (32 bits on Windows 64) rather than an ssize_t in read(), and thus has a 2G size limit. Work around this by falling back to reading one chunk at a time on overflow. This approximately doubles our headroom until we run back into the size limit on single reads.

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.
