tags: silence hgtagsfnodes reading failures tryread() doesn't handle "is a directory" errors and presumably others. We might not want to globally swallow such tryread errors, so we replace with our own try/except handling. An upcoming test will use directories as a portable stand-in for various bizarre circumstances that cache read/write code should be robust to.

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.
