Add support for url#id syntax This allows you to do: hg clone http://server/repo#stable which is equivalent to: hg clone -r stable http://server/repo Future incoming, outgoing, and push commands will default to using this id because it's recorded in the default path. Other commands that accept URLs (push, pull, bundle, incoming, and outgoing) also accept this syntax.

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
