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.

Function to test discovery between two repos in both directions, using both the local shortcut
(which is currently not activated by default) and the full remotable protocol:

  $ testdesc() { # revs_a, revs_b, dagdesc
  >     if [ -d foo ]; then rm -rf foo; fi
  >     hg init foo
  >     cd foo
  >     hg debugbuilddag "$3"
  >     hg clone . a $1 --quiet
  >     hg clone . b $2 --quiet
  >     echo
  >     echo "% -- a -> b tree"
  >     hg -R a debugdiscovery b --verbose --old
  >     echo
  >     echo "% -- a -> b set"
  >     hg -R a debugdiscovery b --verbose --debug --config progress.debug=true
  >     echo
  >     echo "% -- b -> a tree"
  >     hg -R b debugdiscovery a --verbose --old --config
  >     echo
  >     echo "% -- b -> a set"
  >     hg -R b debugdiscovery a --verbose --debug --config progress.debug=true
  >     cd ..
