py3: use pycompat.bytestr() instead of pycompat.sysstr() pycompat.sysstr() doesn’t work because it doesn’t accept arguments of type `type` and returns a unicode object on Python3, while the format string wants a bytes-like object.

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.
