Use revlogng and inlined data files by default This changes revlog specify revlogng by default. Inlined data files are also used unless a flags option is found in the .hgrc. Some example hgrc files: [revlog] # use the original revlog format format=0 [revlog] # use revlogng. Because no flags are included, inlined data files # also be selected format=1 [revlog] # use revlogng but do not inline the data files with the index flags= [revlog] # the new default format=1 flags=inline

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
