logexchange: convert paths to unix when detecting the active path This fixes the problem in the tests[1] where Windows was showing the whole path as the remotename for local repositories. Somebody with a better understanding of this extension should probably take a deeper look. There may be other cases that need to be converted- specifically the `elif not instance` and the missing `else` cases in activepath(). I also noticed when adding debug prints that the absolute path is stored in the file, probably not normalized. (It's wrapped up in $TESTTMP.)

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:

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