typing: add type hints to argument checking functions in cmdutil
These might be surprising, since they can take strings instead of bytes. The
way `AnyStr` works is that it must be all bytes or all str for any given
invocation.
The wildcard here will be the `opts` that get passed in- if the type is unknown
and defaults to `Any`, there's no enforcement that the dict key type matches the
additional args. But a lot of uses should be using `**opts` from the command
method, which has a str key. The uses of these methods in this module are now
typed because their internals force a specific type, and it can't just be
inferred from the caller.
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.
