make appendfile simpler so it does not break with revlogng on windows.
it used to cache open files. this made revlogng break because it wants
to rename files when splitting .i into .i/.d, but cannot rename or unlink
open files on windows.
new code is bit slower, but safe on linux and windows. proper fix for
too many open/close of changelog/manifest belongs in different place.
can get 10% speed improvement back.
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
