Re: [9front] bug: hg pull fails on a bitbucket repo

[Nick Owens <mischief@offblast.org>]

executing diffstat on linux against plan9front's copy and mercurial 3.4.1:

 114 files changed, 34938 insertions(+), 12458 deletions(-)

it is nice that mercurial 3.4.1 already works, but it would indeed be
quite some work to replace the system hg with it.

i suppose for now i can simply encourage people to install mercurial
3.4.1 and use it instead of the system hg.
