the released 3.6.0 PCbuild/build.bat required hg for building. but this requirement is not necessary for build python from source. maybe it will be better for us to remove this requirement as the old versions.

You're right. I moved that code from buildrelease.bat, which definitely requires hg.

PC/build.bat should not fail if hg can't be found. You'll just end up with an empty sys._mercurial/sys.version after building.
