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".
I inadvertantly used "hg import" on a message I saved, expecting it to do
the right thing, but instead it made the commit look like I authored it,
and filled the description with the email header.
Changeset 238f05c9201ffe16c81e32a55d4d6b563cc9f605 contains a guard
against "hg import" doing this again.
walkchangerevs now returns a two-tuple. Its behaviour is also
extensively commented.
The annotate command's getname function has been factored out to a new
function, trimname, so it can be shared between annotate and grep.
The behaviour of grep has been beefed up, so that it now performs a
number of useful functions.
