hgwebdir: add support for explicit index files...
hgwebdir: add support for explicit index files This is useful for when repositories are nested in --web-conf, and in the future with hosted subrepositories. The previous behavior was only to render an index at each virtual directory. There is now an explicit 'index' child for each virtual directory. The name was suggested by Yuya, for consistency with the other method names. Additionally, there is now an explicit 'index' child for every repository directory with a nested repository somewhere below it. This seems more consistent with each virtual directory hosting an index, and more discoverable than to only have an index for a directory that directly hosts a nested repository. I couldn't figure out how to close the loop and provide one in each directory without a deeper nested repository, without blocking a committed 'index' file. Keeping that seems better than rendering an empty index.

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.
