move hgk.py into hgext. now to enable "hg view" is one less step.

Welcome to Mercurial for Windows! --------------------------------- For configuration and usage directions, please read the ReadMe.html file that comes with this package. Release Notes ------------- 2006-05-10 v0.9 * Major changes between Mercurial 0.8.1 and 0.9: - The repository file format has been improved. - This has resulted in an average 40% reduction in disk space usage. - The new format (called RevlogNG) is now the default. - Mercurial works perfectly with both the old and new repository file formats. It can transfer changes transparently between repositories of either format. - To use the new repository format, simply use `hg clone --pull` to clone an existing repository. - Note: Versions 0.8.1 and earlier of Mercurial cannot read RevlogNG repositories directly, but they can `clone`, `pull` from, and `push` to servers that are serving RevlogNG repositories. - Memory usage has been improved by over 50% for many common operations. - Substantial performance improvements on large repositories. - New commands: - 'archive' - generate a directory tree snapshot, tarball, or zip file of a revision - Deprecated commands: - 'addremove' - replaced by 'add' and 'remove --after' - 'forget' - replaced by 'revert' - 'undo' - replaced by 'rollback' - New extensions: - Bugzilla integration hook - Email notification hook - Nested repositories are now supported. Mercurial will not recurse into a subdirectory that contains a '.hg' directory. It is treated as a separate repository. - The standalone web server, 'hg serve', is now threaded, so it can talk to multiple clients at a time. - The web server can now display a "message of the day". - Support added for hooks written in Python. - Many improvements and clarifications to built-in help. 2006-04-07 v0.8.1 * Major changes from 0.8 to 0.8.1: - new extensions: mq (manage a queue of patches, like quilt only better) email (send changes as series of email patches) - new command: merge (replaces "update -m") - improved commands: log (--limit option added), pull/push ("-r" works on specific revisions), revert (rewritten, much better) - comprehensive hook support - output templating added, supporting e.g. GNU changelog style - Windows, Mac OS X: prebuilt binary packages, better support - many reliability, performance, and memory usage improvements 2006-01-29 v0.8 * Upgrade notes: - diff and status command are now repo-wide by default (use 'hg diff .' for the old behavior) - GPG signing is now done with the gpg extension - the --text option for commit, rawcommit, and tag has been removed - the copy/rename --parents option has been removed * Major changes from 0.7 to 0.8: - faster status, diff, and commit - reduced memory usage for push and pull - improved extension API - new bisect, gpg, hgk, and win32text extensions - short URLs, binary file handling, and optional gitweb skin for hgweb - numerous new command options including log --keyword and pull --rev - improved hooks and file filtering 2005-09-21 v0.7 with modifications * New INI files have been added to control Mercurial's behaviour: System-wide - C:\Mercurial\Mercurial.ini Per-user - C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Mercurial.ini A default version of the system-wide INI file is installed with Mercurial. No per-user INI file is installed, but it will be honoured if you create one. * Windows line endings are now handled automatically and correctly by the update and commit commands. See the INI file for how to customise this behaviour. * NOTE: Much of the rest of the Mercurial code does not handle Windows line endings properly. Accordingly, the output of the diff command, for example, will appear huge until I fix this. * Packaged text files now have correct Windows line endings. 2005-09-21 v0.7 with modifications * This is the first standalone release of Mercurial for Windows. * I believe it to be mostly functional, with one exception: there is no support yet for DOS <-> Unix line ending conversion.
