tests: skip a detailed exit status in test-lfs-test-server The mode of failure here differs between `lfs-test-server` and `hg serve`, and they each throw a different exception. The `hg serve` case raises a subclass of `StorageError`, which gets a detailed status. The `lfs-test-server` case raises a subclass of `Abort`, which does not. Since the exit code isn't currently conditionizable in the tests, this is the simplest way to avoid the failure. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D9836

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
