[Python-apps-team] Bug#539194: mercurial: hgrc config file syntax changed

[Thomas Prokosch]

Package: mercurial
Version: 1.3-2
Severity: normal

hgrc manpage states:

   A configuration file consists of sections, led by a "[section]" header
   and followed by "name: value" entries; "name=value" is also accepted.

This means that the primary way of specifying config file entries is using
colons. However, this is no longer true - obviously this variant has been
completely removed from the config file parser. The only way to specify
config file options is using an equal character as delimiter.

Therefore, the man page should be updated accordingly.
