manifest: add some documentation to _lazymanifest python code It was not particularly easy figuring out the design of this class and keeping track of how the pieces work. So might as well write some of it down for the next person.

Synopsis
""""""""
**hg-ssh** repositories...

Description
"""""""""""
**hg-ssh** is a wrapper for ssh access to a limited set of mercurial repos.

To be used in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys with the "command" option, see sshd(8):
command="hg-ssh path/to/repo1 /path/to/repo2 ~/repo3 ~user/repo4" ssh-dss ...
(probably together with these other useful options:
no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding)

This allows pull/push over ssh from/to the repositories given as arguments.

If all your repositories are subdirectories of a common directory, you can
allow shorter paths with:
command="cd path/to/my/repositories && hg-ssh repo1 subdir/repo2"

You can use pattern matching of your normal shell, e.g.:
command="cd repos && hg-ssh user/thomas/* projects/{mercurial,foo}"

You can also add a --read-only flag to allow read-only access to a key, e.g.:
command="hg-ssh --read-only repos/\*"

Bugs
