Subject: Flag day: new default output style for Mercurial

This note constitutes a flag day for ON developers using Mercurial and
for build machine maintainers.

The integration of 6735422 adds the file opt/onbld/etc/hgstyle to the
SUNWonbld package, and updates the hgsetup(1) command to add a style
entry to the [ui] section of a newly-created .hgrc file.

ON developers that have not yet created a .hgrc file using hgsetup(1)
should be sure to use an updated version of SUNWonbld.

ON developers that have already created a .hgrc file should add a style
entry to the [ui] section therein. For example, my .hgrc would look like
this, once /ws/onnv-tools is updated:

	[ui]
	username=Mark J. Nelson <Mark.J.Nelson at Sun dot COM>
	style=/ws/onnv-tools/onbld/etc/hgstyle

Build machine maintainers should update SUNWonbld at their convenience,
so that folks find the right version of hgsetup(1), and may use
/opt/onbld/etc/hgstyle if they prefer.

Henceforth, ON developers should use this style when providing "hg
outgoing -v" output in their RTIs.
