sparse-read: target density of 50% instead of 25%

The target density value is wrong. The default target chain span is
4*text-length. However, the target max chain payload is 2*text-length. So
default target density should be 50% (2/4) not 25% (1/4).

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:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
