The Makefile now requires the rst2html and rst2man programs. Both can
be found in Debian testing or downloaded from the Docutils homepage:

The new HTML and man pages no longer contain huge amounts of
un-wrapping literal blocks, thanks to how snippets of reStructuredText
can easily be included inside other reStructuredText documents.
The HTML pages now have anchors for all sections, including the help
topics in hgrc.1 which were missing from the old HTML pages.
This extends the httpshandler with the means to utilise the auth
section to provide it with a PEM encoded certificate key file and
certificate chain file. This works also with sites that both require
client certificate authentication and basic or digest password
authentication, although the latter situation may require the user to
enter the PEM password multiple times.
The intent is to fix many issues involving patching when win32ext is enabled.
With win32ext, the working directory and repository files EOLs are not the same
which means that patches made on a non-win32ext host do not apply cleanly
because of EOLs discrepancies. A theorically correct approach would be
transform either the patched file or the patch content with the
encoding/decoding filters used by win32ext. This solution is tricky to
implement and invasive, instead we prefer to address the win32ext case, by
offering a way to ignore input EOLs when patching and rewriting them when
saving the patched result.
The quotes would go wrong in many places due to differences between
asciidoc version 8.2.7 used by Benoit and 8.4.5 used by me. Between
those versions asciidoc stopped interpreting the content of `quoted
strings`, and so `*` would start bold text in the old version, but do
nothing in the new version.
To complicate things further, `\*` would escape the bold tag in the
old version, but in the new version the backslash was inserted
literally into the output (because the backtick quotes it).
I've now replaced backticks with non-quoting plusses and escaped
backslashes as appropriate.
The man page used to have lines longer than 80 characters, even though
all lines in the hgrc.5.txt file were wrapped nicely. The problem
turned out to be that the indented paragraphs started literal blocks
instead of normal paragraphs. The literal blocks were of course not
wrapped when displayed by man.
In short, the asciidoc rules require lists to be formatted like this:
foo::
Some description of foo.
+
Another paragraph in the description of foo. It *must* start flush
left and the plus is necessary to indicate that this is a list item
continuation.
Lists with nested lists can be formatted correctly using something
called "open blocks". These blocks are used to group the list items
and are marked by a line above and below with two dashes. See the
asciidoc user guide for the gory details...
Allows defining other output formats for profiling.
If an invalid format is given, output a warning and ignore it.
For now, only the standard 'text' value is supported.
hgrc.5.ja.txt probably should include an example like:
[email]
charsets = iso-8859-1, iso-8859-15, windows-1252, iso-8859-2,
windows-1250, iso-2022-jp, iso-2022-jp-ms
When ui.askusername is set and not username are specified on the command line,
in hgrc or in the variables $HGUSER or $EMAIL, then hg will prompt for the
username.
Feature requested, and documentation provided by Mark Edgington.
Unix systems usually have a PAGER environment variable set.
If it is set, mercurial will use the pager application to display
output.
Two configuration variables are available to influence the behaviour of the
pager. ui.pager sets the pager application. The pager is
only used if ui.usepager is true. By default ui.usepager is disabled.
63beab327d26 introduced using ui.username before web.contact, but this was
never documented and might cause commit accidents.
- Drop web.author (deprecated since 2005)
- Try ui.username or $EMAIL as a fallback to display something useful.
- Update docs for the fallbacks.
Using the module name was not always helpful. It breaks down
when Mercurial is installed as source and when the Mercurial
libs are used by external applications.
This patch allows Mercurial installers to store the system wide
rcpath in the registry, where it can always be found. HGRCPATH
is a poor option for storing the system wide rcpath, since it
overrides both the system and user rcpaths.
