chg: populate CHGHG if not set Normally, chg determines which `hg` executable to use by first consulting the `$CHGHG` and `$HG` environment variables, and if neither are present defaults to the `hg` found in the user's `$PATH`. If built with the `HGPATHREL` compiler flag, chg will instead assume that there exists an `hg` executable in the same directory as the `chg` binary and attempt to use that. This can cause problems in situations where there are multiple actively-used Mercurial installations on the same system. When a `chg` client connects to a running command server, the server process performs some basic validation to determine whether a new command server needs to be spawned. These checks include things like checking certain "sensitive" environment variables and config sections, as well as checking whether the mtime of the extensions, hg's `__version__.py` module, and the Python interpreter have changed. Crucially, the command server doesn't explicitly check whether the executable it is running from matches the executable that the `chg` client would have otherwise invoked had there been no existing command server process. Without `HGPATHREL`, this still gets implicitly checked during the validation step, because the only way to specify an alternate hg executable (apart from `$PATH`) is via the `$CHGHG` and `$HG` environment variables, both of which are checked. With `HGPATHREL`, however, the command server has no way of knowing which hg executable the client would have run. This means that a client located at `/version_B/bin/chg` will happily connect to a command server running `/version_A/bin/hg` instead of `/version_B/bin/hg` as expected. A simple solution is to have the client set `$CHGHG` itself, which then allows the command server's environment validation to work as intended. I have tested this manually using two locally built hg installations and it seems to work with no ill effects. That said, I'm not sure how to write an automated test for this since the `chg` available to the tests isn't even built with the `HGPATHREL` compiler flag to begin with.

"""simplified reStructuredText parser.

This parser knows just enough about reStructuredText to parse the
Mercurial docstrings.

It cheats in a major way: nested blocks are not really nested. They
are just indented blocks that look like they are nested. This relies
on the user to keep the right indentation for the blocks.

Remember to update https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/HelpStyleGuide
when adding support for new constructs.
