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.
$ hg init
$ touch a
$ hg add a
$ hg commit -m "Added a"
$ touch main
$ hg add main
$ hg commit -m "Added main"
$ hg checkout 0
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
'main' should be gone:
$ ls
a
$ touch side1
$ hg add side1
$ hg commit -m "Added side1"
created new head
$ touch side2
$ hg add side2
$ hg commit -m "Added side2"
$ hg log
