py3: convert hg executable path to bytes in missing case in procutil We (Google) noticed this in our tests when we use chg and a hg wrapper script not called 'hg'. The executable then ended up being a native string, which then failed in chgserver when trying to convert the environment dict to a byte string.

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.
