support hooks written in python.
to write hook in python, create module with hook function inside.
make sure mercurial can import module (put it in $PYTHONPATH or load it
as extension). hook function should look like this:
def myhook(ui, repo, hooktype, **kwargs):
if hook_passes:
return True
elif hook_explicitly_fails:
return False
elif some_other_failure:
import util
raise util.Abort('helpful failure message')
else:
return
# implicit return of None makes hook fail!
then in .hgrc, add hook with "python:" prefix:
[hooks]
commit = python:mymodule.myhook
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
