dirstate-v2: Support appending to the same data file For now we’re still writing the entire data every time, so appending is not useful yet. Later we’ll have new nodes pointing to some existing data for nodes and paths that haven’t changed. The decision whether to append is pseudo-random in order to make tests exercise both code paths. This will be replaced by a heuristic based on the amount of unused existing data. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D11094

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.
