Re: [9front] 9front, git and mercurial.

I should probably add a few more details:

The cluster is a set of four Raspberry Pi systems, running on arm64 
architecture.  Probably not relevant, but that is the case.

One is a stand-alone auth server and a second is the main file server, 
the other two serving as CPU servers which boot mostly from the main 
file server.

I am running this from one of the CPU servers, but as the user glenda, 
who owns the file server.

When I run the sysupdate command I am getting:


pulling from https://code.9front.org/hg/plan9front

searching for changes

no changes found


I did try doing a cd /sys/src; mk all; mk install - this did not change 
the situation.


The sysupdate script does contain "hg" commands, not "git" commands.
