help: suggest keyword search when no topic is found When `hg help foobar` fails, it now suggests using `hg help --keyword foobar` instead of printing a full page of basic commands. This should greatly increases discoverability of the `hg help --keyword` argument.

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.
