annotate: support diff whitespace filtering flags (issue3030) splitblock() was added to handle blocks returned by bdiff.blocks() which differ only by blank lines but are not made only of blank lines. I do not know exactly how it could happen but mdiff.blocks() threshold behaviour makes me think it can if those blocks are made of very popular lines mixed with popular blank lines. If it is proven to be wrong, the function can be dropped. The first implementation made annotate share diff configuration entries. But it looks like users will user -w/b for annotate but not for diff, on both the command line and hgweb. Since the latter cannot use command line entries, we introduce a new [annotate] section duplicating the diff whitespace options.

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

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.
