Converting from subversion specifying config.svn.trunk results
in storing trunk under branch named as config.svn.trunk, where `default'
brunch is expected. Submission contains patch and test.
Use field list instead of option list in convert help, because the
option list format used, with defaults and type of argument is not
supported by docutils.
Changes the characters used as section separators, so different ones
are used for module docstring and command docstring.
This is done because the section from the docstring will be at
different levels in the restructured text output, therefore
different symbols have to be used.
This aligns the authormap option with the other three mapping options.
The old --authors option is still supported and 'hg help convert -v'
will still show it.
Also document that
- empty lines are skipped and comment are supported in author map
- whitespace is not allowed in branch map entries since we split on it
when parsing the file
Clarify that:
- Specified paths are matched by comparing name of file or directory.
- Line order (thus) doesn't matter.
- Rename doesn't imply include.
this helps users to know what kind of option is:
- no value is required(flag option)
- value is required
- value is required, and multiple occurrences are allowed
each kinds are shown as below:
-f --force force push
-e --ssh CMD specify ssh command to use
-b --branch BRANCH [+] a specific branch you would like to push
if one or more 3rd type options are shown, explanation for '[+]' mark
is also shown as footnote.
The sort modes flags and convert.cvsps options were indented while the
convert.hg, convert.svn, and convert.p4 options were not. I've now
un-indented all of them.
Trying as much as possible to consistently:
- use a present tense predicate followed by a direct object
- verb referring directly to the functionality provided
(ie. not "add command that does this" but simple "do that")
- keep simple and to the point, leaving details for the long help
(width is tight, possibly even more so for translations)
Thanks to timeless, Martin Geisler, Rafael Villar Burke, Dan Villiom
Podlaski Christiansen and others for the helpful suggestions.
