Find changesets by keywords (author, files, the commit message), revision number or hash, or revset expression.
updated docs (online_file, mserver_iface) - the default location of the online_file is /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route - the online file can and should (!) end with a newline (this once was different) - marked the online detect method `mserver' as obsolete
