git patches: correct handling of filenames with spaces Add a trailing TAB to the "--- filename" lines if there's a space in the file name. This allows patch(1) to work correctly. The same is done for diff --nodates. This was originally suggested by Andrei Vermel, but at the time I thought git was doing something different.

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
