+# The hgk extension allows browsing the history of a repository in a
+# graphical way. It requires Tcl/Tk version 8.4 or later. (Tcl/Tk is
+# not distributed with Mercurial.)
+#
+# hgk consists of two parts: a Tcl script that does the displaying and
+# querying of information, and an extension to mercurial named hgk.py,
+# which provides hooks for hgk to get information. hgk can be found in
+# the contrib directory, and hgk.py can be found in the hgext
+# directory.  
+#
+# To load the hgext.py extension, add it to your .hgrc file (you have
+# to use your global $HOME/.hgrc file, not one in a repository). You
+# can specify an absolute path:
+#
+#   [extensions]
+#   hgk=/usr/local/lib/hgk.py
+#
+# Mercurial can also scan the default python library path for a file
+# named 'hgk.py' if you set hgk empty:
+#
+#   [extensions]
+#   hgk=
+#
+# The hg view command will launch the hgk Tcl script. For this command
+# to work, hgk must be in your search path. Alternately, you can
+# specify the path to hgk in your .hgrc file:
+#
+#   [hgk]
+#   path=/location/of/hgk
+#
+# hgk can make use of the extdiff extension to visualize
+# revisions. Assuming you had already configured extdiff vdiff
+# command, just add:
+#
+#   [hgk]
+#   vdiff=vdiff
+#
+# Revisions context menu will now display additional entries to fire
+# vdiff on hovered and selected revisions.
