hgk "committer:" bug I've been having an hgk problem with this tree: http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/linux-ppc-2.6.hg, specifically changeset 93c590d23a53. The problem seems to be that the commit message contains a "committer:" line, which triggers a (relatively unused?) case in hgk.py... Both cases need the dates at the end of the line.

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
