Package: mercurial-common
Version: 1.7.3-1
Severity: minor
Justification: documentation
Hi Javi, Vincent, et al,
Thanks for keeping mercurial nicely packaged. To get started using
it, I tried
$ man -t hg >hg.ps
$ gs -dSAFER hg.ps
but ran into distracting formatting, somewhat like the familiar
runaway unclosed tags of the early days of the web.
- Under "addremove", paragraph 3:
New files are ignored if they match any of the patterns in hgignore.
As with add, these changes take effect at the next commit.
[...]
Starting with "hgignore", all the text is in fixed-width font until
the list of options starts.
- Under "clone", paragraph 4:
The location of the source is added to the new repository's
hg/hgrc file, as the default to be used for future pulls.
[...]
Starting with "hg/hgrc", all text is in fixed-width font, until the
next "hg/hgrc", after which point all text is bold for 5 paragraphs or
so.
- Unrelated: option lists all start with the heading "options:", with
a lowercase 'o'. Wouldn't a capital 'O' be more appropriate?
If there is anything I can do to help track this down, please don't
hesitate to ask.
