interfaces: introduce and use a protocol class for the `mpatch` module
See
f2832de2a46c for details when this was done for the `bdiff` module.
Two things worth pointing out-
1) The `cffi` module "inherits" the `pure` implementation of `patchedsize()`
because of its wildcard import.
2) It's odd that the `mpatchError` lives in both `pure` and `cext` modules.
I initially thought to move the exception into the new class, and make the
existing class name an alias to the class in the new location, but the exception
is created in C code by the `cext` module, so that won't work. I don't think a
protocol class is approriate, because there's nothing special about the class to
distinguish from any other `Exception`. Fortunately, nobody is catching this
exception in core, so we can kick the can down the road.
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.
