annotate doc/hg.1.txt @ 2275:714f4d25a7a9

Find changesets by keywords (author, files, the commit message), revision number or hash, or revset expression.
Fix hgweb.filediff The third argument to hgweb.diff should be a list, not a string. This fixes a bug found by xorAxAx, where hgweb would also show the diff for "README" when you ask for the diff for "Demo/cgi/README".
