setup: show how to set the module policy for imports This is not technically needed, since mercurial.__version__ does not exist as a native module, but, without this style wrappings, if something else had a native flavor, the module loader would get upset. In principle, the `env` object is trying to set HGMODULEPOLICY for children, so, conceptually we should set it for this in-process child.

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.
