merge: pconvert paths in _unknowndirschecker before dirstate-normalizing This fixes the failure in test-pathconflicts-basic.t on Windows. The test was passing in 'a\b', which was getting normalized to 'A\B', which isn't in dirstate. (The filesystem path is all lowercase anyway.) This isn't the only case of calling dirstate.normalize(), but other methods here (util.finddirs()) seem to assume the input paths are already using '/'. I think the backslash comes from wvfs.reljoin() (in this case), but could also come from wvfs.walk(), so this is the only case that needs it.

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.
