tests: perform a shallow copy instead of a deep copy Python 3 can't perform a deep copy because it looks like symbols in the locals() namespace are not deep-copyable. For the curious, somehow the deepcopy() is attempting to copy objects attached to the unittest.* functions for the running test! We don't use deepcopy() anywhere in the code base and a shallow object copy should be sufficient to test lock copying. Actually, I'm not sure why we even test this, as I couldn't find copy.copy() being used for lock copying either. Who knows. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5770

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.
