strip: don't use "full" and "partial" to describe bundles The partial bundle is not a subset of the full bundle, and the full bundle is not full in any way that i see. The most obvious interpretation of "full" I can think of is that it has all commits back to the null revision, but that is not what the "full" bundle is. The "full" bundle is simply a backup of what the user asked us to strip (unless --no-backup). The "partial" bundle contains the revisions we temporarily stripped because they had higher revision numbers that some commit that the user asked us to strip. The "full" bundle is already called "backup" in the code, so let's use that in user-facing messages too. Let's call the "partial" bundle "temporary" in the code.

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.
