hgweb: change startup argument processing - allow passing a repo object instead of a path (if we get a string, we construct a repo object) - hg serve: pass options via repo.ui.setconfig - add --style option - get default name from repo.root rather than getcwd() - remove template argument to hgweb() - reduce create_server from 8 args to 1

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
