minifileset: note the unsupported file pattern when raising a parse error This was useful in debugging, because I stupidly quoted it out of habit from the command line. This isn't a great example that clearly shows the problem, but I don't know how to improve it. The problem *is* obvious once a complex statement or a clearly bogus string is used.

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:

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