convert: pass absolute paths to git (SEC) Fixes CVE-2016-3105 (1/1). Previously, it was possible for the repository path passed to git-ls-remote to be misinterpreted as a URL. Always passing an absolute path to git is a simple way to avoid this.

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.
