Pu*shable bookmarks Posted Jul 1, 2010 20:39 UTC (Thu) by dfsmith (guest, #20302) [Link]
I read pushable bookmarks as "punishable bookmarks" and thought "hmm, must be like svn blame taken to the next level". It would actually be useful....

Installing a new version of the software just to read it's built-in help will end up doing the exact opposite. I want to read about a new feature *before* I install it, so that I can actually see if it is worth my time.
Mercurial 1.6 released Posted Jul 5, 2010 5:46 UTC (Mon) by NicDumZ (subscriber, #65935) [Link] You can always generate the doc on our machine without installing hg:make doc; $BROWSER "doc/hg.1.html#specifying-revision-sets"or make local; ./hg help revsetsIf you're really impatient, I've uploaded a version online, it's here, and the section on revsets is here. (http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ManPages usually links you to the man page; give us a couple of hours so we can replace the page with the 1.6 documentation :)

Why would I have the software downloaded, if I hadn't yet been able to see the list of new features which would make me want to download it in the first place?
This is more of a general issue I have with software projects that don't describe themselves.
