mdiff.diffopts: add a new noprefix option By popular demand, we introduce an option to disable the 'a/' and 'b/' prefixes in diff output. This makes copying and pasting filenames from diff output easier. This option will be implemented and documented in upcoming patches. To ensure that existing scripts that parse output don't break, we will ensure that this prefix is disabled in plain mode. A straight 'hg export | hg import' without HGPLAIN=1 will still be broken though, but there's little that can be done about that.

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.
