[HEADS UP] mercurial rebase for F29

[Petr Stodulka]

Hi folks,
we want to do rebase of mercurial for F29 before beta freeze yet. Currently
we have version v4.4.2 which is already old. Few days ago there have been
release new stable version v4.7. But many applications would be broken because
of changed API (as it is with every bump of minor version). From this point,
I would like to do rebase to v4.5.3 (or v4.6) as I believe that apps with
living upstream (and which requires mercurial) are already compatible with
those versions of mercurial. After the F29 will be branched, we will do rebase
to v4.7 in rawhide so there will be enough time to fix any issues because of
changes in the new version.

Here is the list of components that depends on mercurial:
  - git-cinnabar
  - gitifyhg
  - git-remote-hg
  - golang
  - gwsmhg
  - hg-git
  - hgsubversion
  - hgsvn
  - hgview
  - python-anyvc
  - python-hgapi
  - python-hghooks
  - python-vcstools
  - python-wstool
  - pyvcs
  - qct
  - rabbitvcs
  - rbm
  - tortoisehg
  - trac-mercurial-plugin

Please give me a note in case you have troubles with this rebase now. I would
like to do in few days. Add POCs into Cc.

Cheers,
