Don't abort when backup files already exist. Don't allow alternative names.
Rationale:
- When the user wants to revert, he shouldn't be stopped from doing
this just because some old backups will be overwritten.
- To not clobber important files by accident, alternative names for backup
files were disabled. As the backup target now has a fixed name, the user
doesn't have to be informed about the backup copy (unless --verbose)
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
