Henning Schild 7d43fa10eb CONTRIBUTING: add more information on the google group
so contributors have a link to the archive and the mail address and do not
have to google that first

The short version:
* Patches should have a good summary line for first line of commit message
* Patches should be sent to the Google Group[0]
* Patch needs to do exactly one thing
* testsuite passes
The longer version:
We use a variant of Mercurial's own contribution
system. https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges contains
their full guidelines. Key differences are (by rule number):
1. For hg-git, I'm not strict about the "topic: a few words" format
for the first line, but I do insist on a sensible summary as the
first line of your commit
2. We don't require use of issueNNN for bug fixes (we have no robot)
3. Use the hg-git google group
10. We use mostly pep8 style. The current codebase is a mess, but new
code should be basically pep8.

Pull requests are generally not noticed more than once every few
months. If you do a pull request, I'm still going to expect you to
have a clean history, and to be willing to rework history so it's
clean before I push the "merge" button.
