merge: drop the quotes around commit description We already have a ":" after the user name to denote the start of the description. The current usage of quotes around the description is problematic as the truncation to 80 chars is likely to drop the closing quote. This may confuse syntax coloration in some editors.

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.
