verify: recover lost freeing of memory In df8973e1fb45 (verify: move file cross checking to its own function, 2016-01-05), "mflinkrevs = None" was moved into function, so the reference was cleared there, but the calling function now held on to the variable. The point of clearing it was presumably to free up memory, so let's move the clearing to the calling function where it makes a difference. Also change "mflinkrevs = None" to "del mflinkrevs", since the comment about scope now surely is obsolete.

to build a new macosx binary package:

install macpython from http://www.python.org/download/mac

install py2app from http://pythonmac.org/packages/

make sure /usr/local/bin is in your path

run bdist_mpkg in top-level hg directory

find packaged stuff in dist directory
