help: document wire protocol "handshake" protocol There isn't a formal handshake protocol in the wire protocol. But clients almost certainly need to perform particular actions before they can communicate with a server optimally. So document what that is so people understand what's going on at connection establishment time.

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.
