py3: avoid using %r format on bytes Before the patch, the 'b' prefix appeared in the formatted string. Wrapping the bytes as pycompat.bytestr solves this problem. Eventually, I think that we should move away from using %r (like 975e517451a6 and 4d6019c0e0ef did), but that would change output of non-ASCII bytes on Python 2, so we can’t do it on the stable branch. Also, many places continue to use %r, so it would be a good idea to do the change all at once.

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.
