=== I found a bug, what do I do? ===

Report it to the mercurial mailing list, mercurial@selenic.com or in the bug tracker
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/bts/


=== What should I include in my bug report? ===

Enough information to reproduce or diagnose the bug. If you can, try
using the hg -v and hg -d switches to figure out exactly what
Mercurial is doing.

If you can reproduce the bug in a simple repository, that is very
helpful. The best is to create a simple shell script to automate this
process, which can then be added to our test suite.


=== Can Mercurial do <x>? ===

If you'd like to request a feature, send your request to
mercurial@selenic.com. As Mercurial is still very new, there are
certainly features it is missing and you can give us feedback on how
best to implement them.

Be sure to see ToDo and MissingFeatures to see what's already planned and where we need help.

=== How do I link to the latest revision of a file? ===

Find the URL for the file and then replace the changeset identifier with {{{tip}}}.

=== How do I change the style of the web interface to the visually more attractive gitweb? ===

In [http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hgrc.5.html hgrc] set

{{{
[web]
style = gitweb
}}}

To switch back to the default style specify "style = default" (see [http://hgbook.red-bean.com/hgbookch6.html#x10-1390006.6.5 hgbook]).
