patch: add support for git delta hunks When creating patches modifying binary files using "git format-patch", git creates 'literal' and 'delta' hunks. Mercurial currently supports 'literal' hunks only, which makes it impossible to import patches with 'delta' hunks. This changeset adds support for 'delta' hunks. It is a reimplementation of patch-delta.c from git : http://git.kernel.org/cgit/git/git.git/tree/patch-delta.c

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.
