 ;;; Commentary:
 
 ;; This mode builds upon Emacs's VC mode to provide flexible
 ;; integration with the Mercurial distributed SCM tool.
 
 ;; To get going as quickly as possible, load mercurial.el into Emacs and
 ;; type `C-c h h'; this runs hg-help-overview, which prints a helpful
 ;; usage overview.
 
 ;; Much of the inspiration for mercurial.el comes from Rajesh
 ;; Vaidheeswarran's excellent p4.el, which does an admirably thorough
 ;; job for the commercial Perforce SCM product.  In fact, substantial
 ;; chunks of code are adapted from p4.el.
 
 ;; This code has been developed under XEmacs 21.5, and may will not
 ;; work as well under GNU Emacs (albeit tested under 21.2).  Patches
 ;; to enhance the portability of this code, fix bugs, and add features
 ;; are most welcome.  You can clone a Mercurial repository for this
 ;; package from http://www.serpentine.com/hg/hg-emacs
 
 ;; Please send problem reports and suggestions to [e-mail].

   "This is an overview of the Mercurial SCM mode for Emacs.
 
 You can find the source code, license (GPL v2), and credits for this
 code by typing `M-x find-library mercurial RET'.
 
 The Mercurial mode user interface is based on that of the older VC
 mode, so if you're already familiar with VC, the same keybindings and
 functions will generally work.
 
 Below is a list of common SCM tasks, with the key bindings needed to
 perform them, and the command names.  This list is not exhaustive.
 
 In the list below, `G/L' indicates whether a key binding is global (G)
 or local (L).  Global keybindings work on any file inside a Mercurial
 repository.  Local keybindings only apply to files under the control
 of Mercurial.  Many commands take a prefix argument.
