exchange: support declaring pull depth Upcoming commits will teach exchangev2 how to perform a shallow clone. This commit teaches hg.clone(), exchange.pull(), and exchange.pulloperation to recognize a request for a shallow clone by having the caller specify a numeric depth of the maximum number of ancestor changesets to fetch. There are certainly other ways we could control shallow-ness. But this one is simple to implement and is also how the narrow extension controls things. So it seems to make sense to start here.

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.
