help: adding a topic on flags This is a short topic to explain how command-line flags can be specified. Some users have been confused by hg offerring different flag syntax than some other libraries, so it'd be nice to point them to this rather than explaining it every time.

# below in test scripts:

# $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<EOF
# > [extdiff]
# > pdiff = sh "$RUNTESTDIR/pdiff"
# > EOF

# On bash and dash, assignment to variable inside while-block
# doesn't affect outside, because inside while-block is executed
