The 'NOTE: bla bla' syntax was for asciidoc and is still present in a
couple of docstrings. The docstrings will be converted to reST format
when minirst knows how to handle it.
Reordering the FILES section accordingly.
The previous ordering of categories might have been nice from the
viewpoint of a site admin doing an initial install, but presenting a
higher-precedence-first ordering is more relevant and natural for the
average end user, since he will most likely resort to editing rc files
in the order of their precedence, overriding whatever "sane" defaults
are coming from more general files.
Note that this patch does not change the texts, it just moves them.
So, whatever bugs, grammar errors, or typos may have been in the texts
before this patch: they are still there. On purpose. Because this patch
here does not want to reword texts while moving them.
This exposed a bug in rst2man where it neglects to escape a literal
backslash. A patch has been applied upstream, but not yet packaged in,
say, Debian unstable. A forward-compatible work-around has therefore
been put in place.
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.
