hg: don't reuse repo instance after unshare() Unsharing a repository is a pretty invasive procedure and fundamentally changes the behavior of the repository. Currently, hg.unshare() calls into localrepository.__init__ to re-initialize the repository instance. This is a bit hacky. And future commits that refactor how localrepository instances are constructed will make this difficult to support. This commit changes unshare() so it constructs a new repo instance once the unshare I/O has completed. It then poisons the old repo instance so any further use will result in error. Surprisingly, nothing in core appears to access a repo instance after it has been unshared! .. api:: ``hg.unshare()`` now poisons the repo instance so it can't be used. It also returns a new repo instance suitable for interacting with the unshared repository. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4557

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.
