help: provide a more helpful message when no keyword are matched Before this changeset, when no topic were matching the provided keyword ( in command such as `hg help --keyword babar`) the output was empty. This is confusing and unhelpful for new users seeking assistance in the help. We now display: $ hg help --keyword babar abort: no matches (try "hg help" for a list of topics) This send users in a new direction where they may find what they are looking for.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
