convert: readd --filemap To handle merges correctly, this revision adds a filemap_source class that wraps a converter_source and does the work necessary to calculate the subgraph we're interested in. The wrapped converter_source must provide a new getchangedfiles method that, given a revision rev, and an index N, returns the list of files that are different in rev and its Nth parent. The implementation depends on the ability to skip some revisions and to change the parents field of the commit objects that we returned earlier. To make the conversion restartable, we assume the revisons in the revmapfile are topologically sorted.

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 html4 hg.1.txt

(older asciidoc may want html instead of html4 above)
