hbisect.py: don't rely on __del__ to write the current state.
This is yet another page of the "Thou shalt not do too much inside
__del__ methods" book, in the "demandload and __del__ don't go well
together" chapter.
The bisect extension is broken in 0.9.1:
$ hg bisect init
$ hg bisect bad
Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)
Aborted
(yes, I tripled checked my instalation to make sure the problem is not
there)
It's been broken since revision fe1689273f84 moved the import of the
binascii module into a demandload.
(In details: the first time that "hg bisect bad" (or good) is called,
there are still no revisions saved in .hg/bisect/*, so bisect.__init__
doesn't call hg.bin on anything. So, when we reach __del__, the
binascii module still hasn't been imported and we get that "nice"
message above.)

Mercurial's documentation is currently kept in ASCIIDOC format, which is a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit. It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard UNIX man page format and HTML. To do this, you'll need to install ASCIIDOC: http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/ To generate the man page: asciidoc -d manpage -b docbook hg.1.txt xmlto man hg.1.xml To display: groff -mandoc -Tascii hg.1 | more To create the html page (without stylesheets): asciidoc -b html hg.1.txt
