tests: stabilize test-subrepo-svn.t on Windows This partially reverts 991e4404e910, because the URL form of `C:\...` gets escaped to `C%3A/...`, which breaks the substitution of $TESTTMP. The forget command on 'notafile*' errored out with: notafile*: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect which I think is because '*' isn't a legal character in a file name (though I can't trigger this directly from MSYS or cmd.exe for some reason).

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
