diff tests/test-help.t @ 21289:c3784e3c3e8d

Find changesets by keywords (author, files, the commit message), revision number or hash, or revset expression.
help: suggest keyword search when no topic is found When `hg help foobar` fails, it now suggests using `hg help --keyword foobar` instead of printing a full page of basic commands. This should greatly increases discoverability of the `hg help --keyword` argument.
