Propagate file list through dodiff -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Propagate file list through dodiff This speeds up operations like 'hg diff Makefile'. Previously it would walk the entire directory tree looking for changes. Now it will only stat Makefile. Further, if Makefile appears untouched, it will skip reading the manifest. manifest hash: ab22a70a5511ed2d7a647f2cd15d129a88dccabf -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCxNRyywK+sNU5EO8RAgb6AKC2TzWmRjNsWq0Q9Pa+ppCZ6Y+pdwCfdHUA UHu024/2Wt6C6WZ5vcWfPbo= =E35L -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

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
