crecord: new keys g & G to navigate to the top and bottom respectively This patch introduces two new keys 'g' and 'G' that helps to navigate to the top and bottom of the file/hunk/line respectively. This is inline with the shortcuts used in man, less, more and such tools that makes it convenient to navigate swiftly. 'g' or HOME navigates to the top most file in the ncurses window. 'G' or END navigates to the bottom most file/hunk/line depending on the whether the fold is active or not. If the bottom most file is folded, it navigates to that file and stops there. If the bottom most file is unfolded, it navigates to the bottom most hunk in that file and stops there. If the bottom most hunk is unfolded, it navigates to the bottom most line in that hunk.

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
