Mercurial adopted asciidoc early on, and our experience with it wasn't
great - it had many difficult to work around quirks. We eventually
built our own parser for a subset of 'restructured text' to generate
our help messages and build our docs.
I think if we're going to go down a mark-up road for Documentation/,
we're going to need to roll our own tool and make it aware of
kerneldoc and so forth.
