help: scripting help topic

There are a lot of non-human consumers of Mercurial. And the challenges
and considerations for machines consuming Mercurial is significantly
different from what humans face.

I think there are enough special considerations around how machines
consume Mercurial that a dedicated help topic is warranted. I concede
the audience for this topic is probably small compared to the general
audience. However, lots of normal Mercurial users do things like create
one-off shell scripts for common workflows that I think this is useful
enough to be in the install (as opposed to, say, a wiki page - which
most users will likely never find).

This text is by no means perfect. But you have to start somewhere. I
think I did cover the important parts, though.

#require unix-permissions

test that new files created in .hg inherit the permissions from .hg/store

  $ mkdir dir

just in case somebody has a strange $TMPDIR

  $ chmod g-s dir
  $ cd dir

  $ cat >printmodes.py <<EOF

  $ umask 077

  $ hg init repo
  $ cd repo

  $ chmod 0770 .hg/store

before commit
store can be written by the group, other files cannot
store is setgid

  $ python ../printmodes.py .

  00600 ./.hg/requires
  00770 ./.hg/store/

  $ mkdir dir
  $ touch foo dir/bar
  $ hg ci -qAm 'add files'

after commit
working dir files can only be written by the owner
files created in .hg can be written by the group
(in particular, store/**, dirstate, branch cache file, undo files)
new directories are setgid

after push

Test that we don't lose the setgid bit when we call chmod.
Not all systems support setgid directories (e.g. HFS+), so
just check that directories have the same mode.

  $ cd ..
  $ hg init setgid
  $ cd setgid
  $ chmod g+rwx .hg/store
  $ chmod g+s .hg/store 2> /dev/null || true
  $ mkdir dir
  $ touch dir/file
  $ hg ci -qAm 'add dir/file'
  $ storemode=`python ../mode.py .hg/store`
  $ dirmode=`python ../mode.py .hg/store/data/dir`
  $ if [ "$storemode" != "$dirmode" ]; then
  >  echo "$storemode != $dirmode"
  > fi
  $ cd ..

  $ cd .. # g-s dir
