make revlog.addgroup pass its file handles to addrevision This should fix issue255. It looks like the problem there happens when addgroup calls addrevision to add a full revision, and addrevision decides to split the index file into a .i/.d pair. Since addgroup has an open file handle for the index file, the renaming of the new .i file to its final name fails on windows.

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
