run-tests: python3.5 now supports mkdtemp using bytes for paths Now that http://bugs.python.org/issue24230 is fixed (thanks to Gregory Smith for that quick response!) we can drop one more ugly hack around path handling. Tests still pass in 3.5 with this cleaner version, as well as in 2.6.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
