[Bruce Dubbs]

New minor version. They seem to make a lot of 'stable' releases.

[pierre]

I'll update those python modules on the plabs/python-mods branch, and cherry pick them to trunk.

Backwards Compatibility Changes

• chg worker processes will now correctly load per-repository configuration

when given a both a relative --repository path and an alternate working directory via --cwd. A side-effect of this change is that these workers will now return an error if hg cannot find the current working directory, even when a different directory is specified via --cwd.

• phase: rename the requirement for internal-phase from internal-phase to use-internal-phase (see 74fb1842f8b962cf03d7cd5b841dbcf2ae065587)

• rhg: don't fallback if strip or rebase are activated
• perf: make perf::bundle compatible before 61ba04693d65
• perf: make perf::bundle compatible down to 5.2
