commands: wrapped docstrings at 78 characters We have always had a left margin of 4 characters -- probably just because that's how docstrings for top-level functions turn out by default, but it also looks nice in the built-in help. The docstrings were wrapped at 70 characters, which is the default for Emacs. However, this gives a right margin of 10 characters in a standard 80 character terminal. I've now wrapped the relevant docstrings at 78 characters, effectively killing the right margin. The asymmetric margins looked a bit odd and some of the text looked cramped with a right margin, so Dirkjan and I felt that it was best to remove it entirely. The two character gap was kept to have some space between the border of the terminal -- it will also make diffs involving the docstrings fit in a 80 character line.

output the current or given revision of files
Print the specified files as they were at the given revision. If no
revision is given, the parent of the working directory is used, or tip if
no revision is checked out.
Output may be to a file, in which case the name of the file is given using
a format string. The formatting rules are the same as for the export
command, with the following additions:
%s basename of file being printed
%d dirname of file being printed, or '.' if in repository root
%p root-relative path name of file being printed
options:
-o --output print output to file with formatted name
-r --rev print the given revision
--decode apply any matching decode filter
-I --include include names matching the given patterns
-X --exclude exclude names matching the given patterns
use "hg -v help cat" to show global options
