error: get Abort from 'error' instead of 'util' The home of 'Abort' is 'error' not 'util' however, a lot of code seems to be confused about that and gives all the credit to 'util' instead of the hardworking 'error'. In a spirit of equity, we break the cycle of injustice and give back to 'error' the respect it deserves. And screw that 'util' poser. For great justice.

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.
