rebase: set `prepared = True` at very end of `_preparenewrebase()` Once we've set `rebaseruntime.prepared = True`, `rebaseruntime.repo` starts returning the unfiltered repo. That will make my next patch break, because that patch moves the call to `rewriteutil.precheck()` after the call to `_handleskippingobsolete()`, which current happens after `prepared = True`. We therefore need to prepare by moving `prepared = True` a bit later, after `_handleskippingobsolete()`. I don't think that matters for that call.

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.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
