trydiff: use sets, not lists, for containment checks

This only has a noticeable effect on diffs touching A LOT of
files. For example, it takes

  hg diff -r FIREFOX_AURORA_30_BASE -r FIREFOX_AURORA_35_BASE

from 1m55.465s to 1m32.354s. That diff has over 50k files.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
