[Python-apps-team] Bug#908902: mercurial: hg commit -m 'my updates' (goes awry due to space in message)

[Steve Newcomb]

My bad. Sorry for the noise.

I defined an hg() function in /etc/bash.bashrc that dropped the quote 
protection.  I don't know why it worked OK in Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 
18.04.  In Buster/Sid, hg now works fine for me (after experimentally 
undoing my error with an "unset -f hg").
