highlight: ignore Unicode's extra linebreaks (issue4291) Unicode and Python's unicode.splitlines() treat several extra legacy ASCII codepoints as linebreaks, even though the vast bulk of computing and Python's own str.splitlines() do not. Rather than introduce line numbering confusion, we filter them out when highlighting.

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 http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
