help: assigning categories to existing commands I'm separating this into its own commit so people can bikeshed over the actual categorization (vs the support for categories). These categories are based on the help implementation we've been using internally at Google, and have had zero complaints. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5067

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
