REVISION SUMMARY
  Static analysis is good. Let's encourage its use by adding
  a mypy.ini config file to the repo that has reasonable defaults.
  
  With this file in place, `mypy` appears to "just work" out of
  the box. It yields a ton of errors and warnings though. But
  it's a start!

REPOSITORY
  rHG Mercurial
