+manage repository changeset blacklist
+  
+  This extension is used to manage a blacklist for the repository.
+  Can blacklist changesets by changeset id, and regular expressions against
+  the user field of a changeset and also a changesets file list.
+  
+  Current rules can be viewed using the [-l|--list] operation.
+  
+  Each modification to a blacklist is logged. These can be viewed using the 
+  --auditlog operation.
+  
+  Each time a changeset is blocked/denied it's logged. These can be viewed
+  using the --blocklog operation.
+  
+  Types of changeset blacklist rules can be defined implicitly or explicitly:
+  
+    If a rule definition contains between 12 and 40 hexadecimal characters 
+    it is assumed to be a rule matched against changeset id. Can be set 
+    explicitly set with the -n flag to the --add operation.
+  
+    If a rule definition contains a '@' it is assumed to be a rule matched 
+    against a changeset's user property. Can be set explicitly with 
+    the -u flag to the --add operation.
+  
+    Otherwise the rule is assumed to be matched against a changeset's file 
+    list. Can be set explicitly with the -f flag to the --add operation.
+  
+    When this extension is enabled a hook is also added to the 
+    'pretxnchangegroup' action that will block any incoming changesets 
+    (via pull/push/unbundle) if they are blacklisted.
+    It won't block any local commits.
