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.

$ hg init
$ echo a > a
$ hg ci -Ama
adding a
$ echo b > b
$ hg branch b
marked working directory as branch b
(branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
$ hg ci -Amb
adding b
$ hg co -C 0
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
Fast-forward:
$ hg merge b
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
(branch merge, don't forget to commit)
$ hg ci -Ammerge
Bogus fast-forward should fail:
$ hg merge b
abort: merging with a working directory ancestor has no effect

Even with strange revset (issue4465)
$ hg merge ::.
