rebase: clean up rebasestate from active transaction Previously, rebase assumes the following pattern: rebase: with transaction as tr: # top-level ... tr.__close__ writes rebasestate unlink('rebasestate') However it's possible that "rebase" was called inside a transaction: with transaction as tr1: rebase: with transaction as tr2: # not top-level ... tr2.__close__ does not write rebasestate unlink('rebasestate') tr1.__close__ writes rebasestate That leaves a rebasestate on disk incorrectly. This patch adds "removefilegenerator" to notify transaction code that the state file is no longer needed therefore fixes the issue.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
