[PATCH] Force "hg clone" to always create a new directory

From: Bryan O'Sullivan <bos@serpentine.com>

I just screwed myself by typing "hg clone foo" without specifying a
destination directory, and after I was done mopping up the mess,
concluded that this is a dangerous mode of operation that has no
practical value.

I've thus modified the clone command so that it always creates a
destination directory.  If none is specified, the destination is taken
as the basename of the source.

hg clone foo
        -> error, because foo already exists
hg clone http://www.selenic.com/hg
        -> new repo, named hg
hg clone ../bar
        -> new repo, named bar

Mercurial's documentation is currently kept in ASCIIDOC format, which
is a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit. It's also
convertible to a variety of other formats including standard UNIX man
page format and HTML.

To do this, you'll need to install ASCIIDOC:

 http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/

To generate the man page:

 asciidoc -d manpage -b docbook hg.1.txt
 xmlto man hg.1.xml

To display:

 groff -mandoc -Tascii hg.1 | more

To create the html page (without stylesheets):

 asciidoc -b html hg.1.txt
