help: describe about choice of :prompt as a fallback merge tool explicitly "merge-tools" help topic has described that the merge of the file fails if no tool is found to merge binary or symlink, since c77f6276c9e7 (or Mercurial 1.7), which based on (already removed) MergeProgram wiki page. But even at that revision, and of course now, merge of the file doesn't fail automatically for binary/symlink. ":prompt" (or equivalent logic) is used, if there is no appropriate tool configuration for binary/symlink.

wix: only one KeyPath is allowed per Component

help: call out specific replacement configuration settings As an aside, I'm having trouble parsing the help text meaning for HG when it is unset or empty. How can it be the frozen name or searched if it is empty?
