py3: proxy posixfile objects to re-add a useful 'name' attribute on Windows This file object is used in the vfs layer, so there are many errors like this: ... File "mercurial\localrepo.py", line 2569, in savecommitmessage return self.pathto(fp.name[len(self.root) + 1:]) TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable It looks like the 'name' value is actually the fileno() value, and the documentation says the name parameter to PyFile_FromFd() is ignored. [1] I tried just assigning the attribute after osutil.posixfile() returns, but that crashes saying that it's read-only. [1] https://docs.python.org/3.6/c-api/file.html

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.
