doc/hgrc.5.txt: deprecate [defaults] Quoting Matt: "Defaults are a bad idea. They are deprecated. Don't use them. Don't recommend them. Forget they existed. Use aliases." in http://selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2009-October/016095.html

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.
