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.

$ cd "$TESTTMP"
OSError "No such file or directory" / "The system cannot find the path
specified" should include filename even when it is empty
$ hg -R a archive ''
abort: *: '' (glob)

#if no-outer-repo
No repo:
$ hg cat
abort: no repository found in '$TESTTMP' (.hg not found)!
[255]
#endif
#if rmcwd
Current directory removed:
$ mkdir $TESTTMP/repo1
$ cd $TESTTMP/repo1
$ rm -rf $TESTTMP/repo1
The output could be one of the following and something else:
chg: abort: failed to getcwd (errno = *) (glob)
abort: error getting current working directory: * (glob)
sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory
Since the exact behavior depends on the shell, only check it returns non-zero.
