The hgweb "footer" template now has space for an optional message of
the day (MOTD). This is used in two contexts:
1) On the hgwebdir index page
2) On various pages of each individual repo
For both cases, the MOTD is read out of an entry named "motd" in the
[web] section of a config file -- the only difference is which file is
used. For #1, you need to add the section to hgweb.config; for #2, you
need to add to the repo's .hgrc file.
I suggest something like this:
[web]
motd = <p>To download these repositories, <a href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial">get Mercurial</a> and then type something like:</p><p><pre>hg clone http://gs3080.sp.cs.cmu.edu/hg.cgi/cpmpy</pre></p>You can also click the Download links to get an archive of the latest revision.

Two bugs:
- conteXt-type instead of conteNt-type
- trailing newline
The easiest way to fix the second one (and keep it fixed) is to put
everything inline in map-raw.
to use, "hg log --style=changelog". makes different output with no
flags, -q, -v, --debug.
templater module has new template filters for this.
email - committer email address
fill68 - refill text to 68 colums
fill76 - refill text to 76 colums
tabindent - prefix every not empty line with tab
shortdate - iso 8631 date, no time zone
stringify - turn template iterator into string
change name of key in map file from changelog to changeset.
rename command map files to start with map-cmdline.
rename ui.logmap to ui.style in hgrc.
now --style=foo does this:
tries to open foo as file.
tries as map-cmdline.foo in template path.
tries as foo in template path.
rename --map-file to --style.
no more -t alias for --template.
update docs.
rename template entry in map files to changelog.
if --verbose, use changelog_verbose if there, else changelog.
mechanism is same as hgweb templates.
old show_changeset code is still used for now if no template given,
because it is faster than template code when verbose or debug.
simple template can be given on command line using -t, --template.
example:
hg log -t '{author|person}\n'
complex template can be put in template map file, given on command line
using --map-file.
we give two example map files:
map-log.compact prints 3 lines of output for every change.
map-log.verbose prints exact same output as default "hg log -v".
map files are searched where user says, then in template path as backup.
example:
hg log --map-file map-log.compact
defaults can be set in hgrc with ui.logtemplate and ui.logmap.
if one reads through the changelog and wants to go to the
previous or next page one needs the navigation links at
the bottom, not at the top of the page
