generate hg manpage from commands.py docstring gendoc.py is a script generating a part of the manpage (the commands help and options) from the docstring in commands.py. It avoids duplicating the doc between the doc/ directory and the docstrings. To generate the manpage, 'make doc' will create all the necessary intermediate files.
