cmdserver, runcommand: properly handle the client sending no arguments No real reason for a client to do this, but still possible. Previously if the client sent no arguments, a list with an empty string [''] would be used as the arguments to dispatch, which would cause hg to complain about an ambiguous command. Instead, we simply check for no arguments and use an empty list instead (which is equivalent to invoking hg with no args on the command line).

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.
