Add automatic binary file detection to diff and export
Based on a patch by Fuming Wang
- add util.binary which decides whether a file is binary if it has any NUL
characters in the first 1K.
- teach mdiff.unidiff to print "binary file <x> has changed" for binary files
- add text flag to cause unidiff and dodiff to treat all files as text
- add -a and --text flags (like diff(1)) to hg diff and export
- update docs

230 This command searches the current directory and its | |

234 If no patterns are given to match, this command prints all file | |

237 If you want to feed the output of this command into the "xargs" | |

580 | 532 SPECIFYING SINGLE REVISIONS |
533 --------------------------- | |
534 | |
535 Mercurial accepts several notations for identifying individual | |
536 revisions. | |
537 | |
538 A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative | |
539 integers are treated as offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the | |
540 tip. | |
541 | |
542 A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision | |
543 identifier. | |
544 | |
545 A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a | |
546 unique revision identifier, and referred to as a short-form | |
547 identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the | |
548 prefix of one full-length identifier. | |
549 | |
550 Any other string is treated as a tag name, which is a symbolic | |
551 name associated with a revision identifier. Tag names may not | |
552 contain the ":" character. | |
553 | |
554 The reserved name "tip" is a special tag that always identifies | |
555 the most recent revision. | |
556 | |
557 SPECIFYING MULTIPLE REVISIONS | |
558 ----------------------------- | |
559 | |
560 When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be | |
561 specified individually, or provided as a continuous range, | |
562 separated by the ":" character. | |
563 | |
564 The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END | |
565 are revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If | |
566 BEGIN is not specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END | |
567 is not specified, it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus | |
568 means "all revisions". | |
569 | |
570 If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse | |
571 order. | |
572 | |

573 A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5 |
580 | 574 gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 4:2 gives 4, 3, and 2. |
