Optimize return value of util._matcher for common command line case This will trigger every time somebody runs something like "hg diff" or "hg status" without any arguments. The important part here is returning util.always as the match function, which is a much simpler (and faster) function than the usual return value, and allows other code to just skip the filtering if it knows all files will match.

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
