The Mercurial Forest Extension

[Kelly O'Hair]

For anyone using the forest extension with Mercurial 0.9.5, there
was a recent update to it for 0.9.5, you may want to get a
fresh hgforest clone, or do a 'hg pull && hg update' to get the new forest.py
file and update your copies.

The old forest.py would fail with 0.9.5 for me with a simple 'hg fstatus',
the new one works fine, although I did not try the new one with 0.9.4, so
be careful.

The failure looked like:

<> hg fstatus
** unknown exception encountered, details follow
** report bug details to http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/bts
** or mercurial at selenic.com
** Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 0.9.5)
