Backed out changeset 2ab464771b7d15c60014996d2853efc92cdb8465 - it always runs chmod - uses chmod in an unsafe way - if somebody does a clone of a repo, runs 'make tests', everything is fine, so he can assume the original repo is fine, too, but it is not.

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
