ssh: add capability detection at startup
Because older servers don't return any output for unknown commands,
it's tricky to add new commands. The approach is this: we add a
"hello" command that reports any interesting capabilities (and other
things that might be of interest in the future). To detect whether
this new command is supported, we issue both it and our startup
detection command ("between") at the beginning of a connection.

Mercurial's documentation is currently kept in ASCIIDOC format, which is a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit. It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard UNIX man page format and HTML. To do this, you'll need to install ASCIIDOC: http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/ To generate the man page: asciidoc -d manpage -b docbook hg.1.txt xmlto man hg.1.xml To display: groff -mandoc -Tascii hg.1 | more To create the html page (without stylesheets): asciidoc -b html hg.1.txt
