shelve: drop unnecessary backup of dirstate for phase-based case Regular shelve has a hack using an uncommitted transaction that's then aborted at the end of the operation. It preserves the dirstate across the abort, however, by saving a backup copy of it. Phase-based shelve instead commits the transaction, so the hack shouldn't be necessary there.

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.
