wireproto: add media type to version 2 capabilities response This is useful to advertise because servers reject unsupported media types. A client may wish to speak multiple media types and choose the one the server supports. I doubt we'll ever use multiple media types or negotiation in core. But during the course of developing this protocol, I may end up making extensions that backport and forward port protocol support as needed to support Mercurial deploys in the wild. e.g. I may deploy support for an older protocol on a server so old clients can continue using it. It's worth pursuing changing the SSH protocol's upgrade mechanism to support multiple media types as well... Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3299

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.
