[PATCH] Parse and use header data from an hg export'ed changeset

From: Andrew Thompson <[e-mail]>

This should make it easier to import changesets that are hg export'ed
from other Mercurial users:

Add a routine to catch the user from an hg export'ed changeset.
Add user to commit call.
Add trap for changelog snippet, which is promoted to the beginning of
the commit text.

General:
- Better documentation
- More regression tests
- More specific try/except.
- less code duplication, more code in the right places
- python 2.2 support
- better import support
- export to git
- Code cleanup: apply http://python.org/peps/pep-0008.html

Core:
- difflib creating/removing files (fixed except dates: should be epoch)
- directory foo.d or foo.i with existing file foo (use some quoting?)
- get various options from hgrc (e.g. history always -v, tip always -q)
- better push support (hack exists)
- hg over ssh:// and https:// and rsync://
- hooks for new changesets getting pulled/imported etc.
- make showing removed files (in history etc.) faster.

Commands:
- hg add <directory> should work
- hg status <filename>: file rev, changeset rev, changed, added,
  deleted, sha-1
- select to pull a subset of the heads
- commands.py: number of args too much magic (e.g. in patch())
- automatic pull fallback to old-http://
- optionally only show merges (two parents or parent != changeset-1, etc.)

Web:
- optionally only show merges (two parents or parent != changeset-1, etc.)
- one hgweb with many repos (another script)
- hgweb tip link too verbose
- hgweb: deliver static files (e.g. favicon, stylesheets)
- hgweb personalization: timezone (display/change), display of
  features
- hg export 240 shows -tkmerge (good), hgweb does not (bad).
- some web servers think hgweb.cgi.[di] is a CGI script with old-http://
  (use quoting (see foo.d in Core) or document server configurations?)
- link children in hgweb
