chg: use validate to make sure the server is up to date This patch uses the newly added validate method to make sure the server has loaded the up-to-date config and extensions. If the server cannot validate itself, the client will receive instructions and follow them to try to reach another server that is more likely to validate itself. The instructions can be a redirect (connect to another server address) and/or an unlink (stops an out-dated server).

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:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
