help: call out specific replacement configuration settings As an aside, I'm having trouble parsing the help text meaning for HG when it is unset or empty. How can it be the frozen name or searched if it is empty?

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.
