contributing: add new file with a pointer to the wiki
This also includes what I consider to be the minimum set of steps
someone should be able to perform even if they can't run the
testsuite. Hopefully this will help new contributors know to at least
run the two checkers that find most things that (in my experience)
require manual cleanup.
# transaction.py - simple journaling scheme for mercurial
#
# This transaction scheme is intended to gracefully handle program
# errors and interruptions. More serious failures like system crashes
# can be recovered with an fsck-like tool. As the whole repository is
# effectively log-structured, this should amount to simply truncating
# anything that isn't referenced in the changelog.
