Refactor diffrevs/diffdir into changes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Refactor diffrevs/diffdir into changes Add dirstate.changes to replace most of diffdir Add localrepository.changes to replace diffrevs/diffdir This code can now efficiently check for changes in single files, and often without consulting the manifest. This should eventually make 'hg diff Makefile' in a large project much faster. This also fixes a bug where 'hg diff -r tip' failed to account for files that had been added but not committed yet. manifest hash: 20fde5d4b4cee49a76bcfe50f2dacf58b1f2258b -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCxMxpywK+sNU5EO8RAhzOAJ9VLQJoC+hiRYQtTSPbDhXBEJfQZwCgpDx9 GAwQ9jZHNsgXckBfXNCkJV8= =hMuc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

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
