bundle2: equate 'UN' with no compression An upcoming patch will change the "alg" argument passed to this function from None to "UN" when no compression is wanted. The existing implementation of bundle2 does not set a "Compression" parameter if no compression is used. In theory, setting "Compression=UN" should work. But I haven't audited the code to see if all client versions supporting bundle2 will accept this. Rather than take the risk, avoid the BC breakage and treat "UN" the same as None.

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:

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