copyfile: add an optional parameter to copy other stat data Contrary to the comment, I didn't see any evidence that we were copying atime/mtime at all. This adds a parameter to copyfile to optionally copy it and other stat data, with the default being to not copy it. Many systems don't support changing the timestamp of a symlink, but we don't need that in general anyway -- copystat is mostly useful for editors, most of which will dereference symlinks anyway.

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.
