Modify qpush/qpop idempotent operations to return success Modify qpush/qpop such that idempotent instances of the operations return success. That is, repeated qpush -a, qpop -a, qpush patch-name or qpop patch-name will return success. The end goal of each of these operations is to reach a particular state. Whether or not the patches were already applied does not affect that state or operation status. Likewise, be careful to retain the error status on a qpush/qpop without arguments when the end/beginning of the series has been reached.

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
