help: add a mechanism to change flags' help depending on config It seems reasonable to have a similar mechanism for the rest of the help, but no such thing is implemented. The goal is to make the help of commands clearer in the presence of significant default changes, like tweakdefaults or with company-wide hgrcs. In these cases, a user looking at the help of a command doesn't exactly know what his hgrc is doing. Apply to this to the --git option of commands that display diffs, as this option in particular causes confusion for some reason. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8100

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
