hgweb: compatibility of hgweb.cgi template with Python 3 When running Mercurial on Python 3 hgweb expects the config variable to be a bytestring. The solution proposed by Anton Shestakov is to use a byteprefix to the literal string defined cgi script as provided in this patch for hgweb.cgi, contrib/hgweb.fcgi and contrib/hgweb.wsgi. I am not sure whether this covers all relevant templates, but I couldn't find others. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8978

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.
