doc: correct example concerning "hg purge" alias in man page "hgrc.5" The "hg purge" alias as currently described in "hgrc.5" only works, if the caller's current working directory is identical to the repository's root directory. This patch slightly modifies the example by adding an empty pattern as a file argument to the "hg status" command, thus forcing this command to list the affected files relative to the current directory.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version
