hg.1: simplify synopsis
Now that arguments can be mixed with options we can simplify the
synopsis considerably. Also, highlighting the command name in bold
(instead of italics) seem to be the standard convention.

HG(1) ===== Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> :man source: Mercurial :man manual: Mercurial Manual NAME ---- hg - Mercurial source code management system SYNOPSIS -------- *hg* 'command' ['option']... ['argument']... DESCRIPTION ----------- The hg(1) command provides a command line interface to the Mercurial system. COMMAND ELEMENTS ---------------- files ...:: indicates one or more filename or relative path filenames; see "FILE NAME PATTERNS" for information on pattern matching path:: indicates a path on the local machine revision:: indicates a changeset which can be specified as a changeset revision number, a tag, or a unique substring of the changeset hash value repository path:: either the pathname of a local repository or the URI of a remote repository. include::hg.1.gendoc.txt[] FILES ----- `.hgignore`:: This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that describe file names that should be ignored by hg. For details, see hgignore(5). `.hgtags`:: This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one of each separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of the repository contents. `/etc/mercurial/hgrc`, `$HOME/.hgrc`, `.hg/hgrc`:: This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in `.hg/hgrc` override those in `$HOME/.hgrc`, and these override settings made in the global `/etc/mercurial/hgrc` configuration. See hgrc(5) for details of the contents and format of these files. Some commands (e.g. revert) produce backup files ending in `.orig`, if the `.orig` file already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial, it will be overwritten. BUGS ---- Probably lots, please post them to the mailing list (See Resources below) when you find them.
