py3: use bytes stdout in test-check-help.t Setting stdout to binary seemed to have no effect on Windows, as it was appending a literal '\r' to each topic keyword. This also stops prepending 'b' to the topic on all platforms as well.

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.
