help: attempt to clarify that pager usage is not output length based This may be too subtle of a change to get the point across, but when I first read the original text, I thought maybe the pager would only be invoked if writing more than a screenful. The distinction between this and a pager that simply exits after printing less than a screenful is important on Windows, given the inability of `more` to color output.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
