In order to use hardlinks, the win32file module is needed, and this is
present in ActivePython. If it isn't present, or hardlinks are not supported
on the underlying filesystem, a regular copy is used.
When using hardlinks the biggest benefit is probably the saving in space,
but cloning can be much quicker. For example cloning the Xen tree
(non trivial) without an update goes from about 95s to 15s.
Unix-like platforms should be unaffected, although should be more tolerant on
filesystems that don't support hard links.
(tweaked by mpm to deal with new copyfiles function)

With this option, hg will drop into the Python debugger on execution.
Running 'continue' will execute normally, and the debugger will be
reinvoked if an exception is raised.
We want to reserve -e for future use and grep compatibility.
I've changed every-match to all out of a general preference for
shorter long option names where short options don't exist.
Previously, we simply appended to the hgrc file, which meant that it
ended up containing multiple "paths" sections. Now, we only modify
"paths.default".
iterator over strings (aka chunks).
Also added to util (for future use) is a generator function that
iterates over a file n bytes at a time.
Lastly, localrepo was changed to use this new chunkbuffer class when
reading changegroups form the local repository.
