As I said on the issue and in response to Benjamin's question, I prefer to have it appear near the top of the directory listing even when other non 'test_xxx' files are added.
I don't think that's a strong enough reason to give the name a non-alphabetic prefix. Please just use README.txt.
As I explained in response to Antoine on pydev, I do not like generic README and would prefer a more specific name beginning with 'A'; however, I will just delete the '@' in my next patch, which will fix the one buildbot breakage.
Thanks for renaming the @README.txt to README.txt
The problem cropped up on my local machine again with repo I checked out yesterday which had the older file. Specifically due to @ in the filename (or the way it was added).
hg complained that

This is hg (version 2.3.1) on Mac, case sensitive Apple_HFS file system, throwing up on a recently cloned repo. This may likely be a bug with mercurial. To deal with this, I am upgraded mercurial to 2.5 and cloned the repo again.
