-FILE NAME PATTERNS
-------------------
-
-    Mercurial accepts several notations for identifying one or more
-    files at a time.
-
-    By default, Mercurial treats filenames as shell-style extended
-    glob patterns.
-
-    Alternate pattern notations must be specified explicitly.
-
-    To use a plain path name without any pattern matching, start a
-    name with "path:".  These path names must match completely, from
-    the root of the current repository.
-
-    To use an extended glob, start a name with "glob:".  Globs are
-    rooted at the current directory; a glob such as "*.c" will match
-    files ending in ".c" in the current directory only.
-
-    The supported glob syntax extensions are "**" to match any string
-    across path separators, and "{a,b}" to mean "a or b".
-
-    To use a Perl/Python regular expression, start a name with "re:".
-    Regexp pattern matching is anchored at the root of the repository.
-
-    Plain examples:
-
-    path:foo/bar   a name bar in a directory named foo in the root of
-                   the repository
-    path:path:name a file or directory named "path:name"
-
-    Glob examples:
-
-    glob:*.c       any name ending in ".c" in the current directory
-    *.c            any name ending in ".c" in the current directory
-    **.c           any name ending in ".c" in the current directory, or
-                   any subdirectory
-    foo/*.c        any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo
-    foo/**.c       any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo, or any
-                   subdirectory
-
-    Regexp examples:
-
-    re:.*\.c$      any name ending in ".c", anywhere in the repository
