Issue 882: add standard hook to reject text files with CRLF.
While the win32text extension does LF <-> CRLF conversion, and will issue a
warning in case a file already in the repository uses CRLF, it provides no
mechanism for verifying that incoming changes use LF. In a large development
team with some Windows users, it is virtually guaranteed that someone will
forget to set up the encode filter correctly and accidentally check in a file
using CRLF, which can cause warnings for other Windows users when they next
fetch changes. Since this is a general problem it is desirable to have a
pre-commit (or -push) hook available to reject such accidents earlier rather
than trying to fix them up after the fact.

Mercurial's documentation is currently kept in ASCIIDOC format, which is a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit. It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard UNIX man page format and HTML. To do this, you'll need to install ASCIIDOC: http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/ To generate the man page: asciidoc -d manpage -b docbook hg.1.txt xmlto man hg.1.xml To display: groff -mandoc -Tascii hg.1 | more To create the html page (without stylesheets): asciidoc -b html4 hg.1.txt (older asciidoc may want html instead of html4 above)
