fold: reword error message for public commits

This rewords the error message when attempting to fold public csets.
It is somewhat clearer to not use contractions in formal writing. It
also uses i18n for it. This commit also adds a new test for this error
message.

=============================
Mutable History For Mercurial
=============================

This package supplies the ``evolve`` extension for Mercurial, which
provides several commands to mutate history and deal with the
resulting issues.

It also:

    - enables the "changeset obsolescence" feature of Mercurial
    - issues several warning messages when trouble appears in your repository

**This extension is experimental and not yet meant for production.**

You can enable it by adding the line below to the ``extensions``
section of your hgrc::

    evolve = PATH/TO/mutable-history/hgext/evolve.py

We recommend reading the documentation first. An online version is
available here:

    http://hg-lab.logilab.org/doc/mutable-history/html/

Or see the ``doc/`` directory for a local copy.

Contribute
==========

The simplest way to contribute is to issue a pull request on Bitbucket
(https://bitbucket.org/marmoute/mutable-history). Please don't forget
to update and run the tests when you fix a bug or add a feature. To
run the tests:

    cd tests
    python run-tests.py --with-hg=/path/to/hg

However, some cutting-edge changes may be found in a mutable repository hosted
by logilab before they are published.

    http://hg-lab.logilab.org/wip/mutable-history/

Be sure to check latest draft changeset before submitting new changesets.
