test-convert-cvsnt-mergepoints: ignore differences between CVS 1.11 and 1.12. - factor out cvsci function (similar to other test-convert-cvs* scripts) - add filterpath function (also similar to other scripts) - generally munge the output of CVS - add lots of output to make it easier to follow when things go wrong This doesn't make the test pass reliably under CVS 1.11; it just makes it behave the same as under CVS 1.12, i.e. sometimes it passes and sometimes it fails. Failure is more frequent with faster hardware.

NAME
----
hg - Mercurial source code management system

SYNOPSIS
--------
*hg* 'command' ['option']... ['argument']...

DESCRIPTION
-----------
The *hg* 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

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.
