Summary
Updated mercurial packages fix security vulnerability
Details

This update fixes possible arbitrary code execution when converting Git repos. Mercurial prior to 3.8 allowed arbitrary code execution when using the convert extension on Git repos with hostile names. This could affect automated code conversion services that allow arbitrary repository names. This is a further side-effect of Git CVE-2015-7545. Reported and fixed by Blake Burkhart.
