For those performing artifact builds or that have the "mozext" Mercurial extension installed, please run `mach mercurial-setup` to pull down the latest version-control-tools repo code so pushlog data is fetched faster and pulls don't take as long. You'll know the new code is working if you see a "added N pushes" message when you `hg pull` from a Firefox repo. Report any issues with the new code in or against bug 1236618.
