verify: clean up weird error/warning lists Nested functions in Python are not able to assign to variables in the outer scope without something like the list trick because assignments refer to the inner scope. So, we formerly used a list to give an object to assign into. Now that error and warning are object members, the [0] hack is no longer needed.

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.
