import: show the warning message for failure of merging

Before this patch, no message is shown for failure of merging at "hg
import".

In such case, merging patch is imported as a normal revision silently,
and it may confuse users.

For simplicity, this patch recommends just using "--exact", even
though importing the merging patch itself is possible without it if:

  - the hash of the 1st parent in the patch is equal to one of the
    patch imported just before (or the parent of the working
    directory, for the 1st patch of the series), and

  - the hash of the 2nd parent in the patch is known in the local
    repository

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:
