extdiff: drop the command alias without options example in the help text
In the dropped example, the extension would look for 'vdiff.diffargs' in the
configuration, and not finding it, would run kdiff3 without the configured
options. That's not obvious to a new user who sees a kdiff3 configuration in
the prepackaged mergetools.rc file, and sees that kdiff3 still runs. While it
is conceivable that the user wants a kdiff3 command that runs without the
preconfigured options, it is more likely what they want is this, which uses the
canned options:
[alias]
vdiff = kdiff3
[extdiff]
kdiff3 =
We could mention alias here, but that seems like it belongs elswhere.
this structure seems to tickle a bug in bundle's search for
changesets, so first we have to recreate it

check that "hg outgoing" really does the right thing
sanity check of outgoing: expect revs 4 5 6 7 8
$ hg clone -r3 . ../repo2
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 4 changesets with 4 changes to 1 files
updating to branch default
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
this should (and does) report 5 outgoing revisions: 4 5 6 7 8
$ hg outgoing --template "{rev}\n" ../repo2
comparing with ../repo2

test bundle (destination repo): expect 5 revisions
this should bundle the same 5 revisions that outgoing reported, but it
actually bundles 7
$ hg bundle foo.bundle ../repo2
searching for changes
5 changesets found
test bundle (base revision): expect 5 revisions
this should (and does) give exactly the same result as bundle
with a destination repo... i.e. it's wrong too
$ hg bundle --base 3 foo.bundle
5 changesets found
$ cd ..
