Since we are going to be switching over to Git, sys.mercurial is going to be made to return a dummy value of ('CPython', '', '') once we switch to Git.

for me sys._mercurial it's already returning that (?) : what should return now? (it's a bug?)

$ ipython Python 2.7.11 (default, Dec 9 2015, 00:29:25) Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

IPython 2.4.1 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. ? -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features. %quickref -> Quick reference. help -> Python's own help system. object? -> Details about 'object', use 'object??' for extra details.

In [1]: import sys

In [2]: sys._mercurial Out[2]: ('CPython', '', '')
