Thanks for the bug report, but this is not a bug in Octave, this is a question about how to use Mercurial.

It looks like you ran ./bootstrap --bootstrap-sync, which copies the latest bootstrap script from gnulib. You probably just want to hg revert bootstrap.

If that doesn't solve the problem or you have other questions about using Mercurial for Octave development, please ask on the maintainers mailing list, not a bug report.

Running hg id gives something with a + at the end, indicating the user has made changes. However the only difference as seen here is in the bootstrap script, and none of those changes were made by the user. What are these changes and how to force an update to the latest bootstrap version?
