gendoc: group commands by category in man page and HTML help Make Mercurial's man page and HTML help group commands by category, and present the categories in a helpful order. `hg help` already does this; this patch uses the same metadata. This patch uses the same header level for command categories and for commands. A subsequent patch will push the command headers down one level.

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

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
