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.
Just exercise debugindexdot
Create a short file history including a merge.
$ hg init t
$ cd t
$ echo a > a
$ hg ci -qAm t1 -d '0 0'
$ echo a >> a
$ hg ci -m t2 -d '1 0'
$ hg up -qC 0
$ echo b >> a
$ hg ci -m t3 -d '2 0'
created new head
$ HGMERGE=true hg merge -q
$ hg ci -m merge -d '3 0'
$ hg debugindexdot .hg/store/data/a.i
digraph G {
-1 -> 0
0 -> 1
0 -> 2
2 -> 3
1 -> 3
}
$ cd ..
