tracked-key: remove the dual write and rename to tracked-hint...
tracked-key: remove the dual write and rename to tracked-hint The dual-write approach was mostly useless. As explained in the previous version of the help, the key had to be read twice before we could cache a value. However this "read twice" limitation actually also apply to any usage of the key. If some operation wants to rely of the "same value == same tracked set" property it would need to read the value before, and after running that operation (or at least, after, in all cases). So it cannot be sure the operation it did is "valid" until checking the key after the operation. As a resultat such operation can only be read-only or rollbackable. This reduce the utility of the "same value == same tracked set" a lot. So it seems simpler to drop the double write and to update the documentation to highlight that this file does not garantee race-free operation. As a result the "key" is demoted to a "hint". Documentation is updated accordingly. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12201

Synopsis
""""""""
**hg-ssh** repositories...
Description
"""""""""""
**hg-ssh** is a wrapper for ssh access to a limited set of mercurial repos.
To be used in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys with the "command" option, see sshd(8):
command="hg-ssh path/to/repo1 /path/to/repo2 ~/repo3 ~user/repo4" ssh-dss ...
(probably together with these other useful options:
no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding)
This allows pull/push over ssh from/to the repositories given as arguments.
If all your repositories are subdirectories of a common directory, you can
allow shorter paths with:
command="cd path/to/my/repositories && hg-ssh repo1 subdir/repo2"
You can use pattern matching of your normal shell, e.g.:
command="cd repos && hg-ssh user/thomas/* projects/{mercurial,foo}"
You can also add a --read-only flag to allow read-only access to a key, e.g.:
command="hg-ssh --read-only repos/\*"
