commands: wrap docstrings at 70 characters
It is no longer necessary to wrap the docstrings at 70 characters in
the source -- with the reST parser, they are re-formatted to fit the
terminal when shown.
However, wrapping the docstrings at 78 characters makes life harder
for translators because it marks a lot of strings as fuzzy for no good
reason. When un-marking them, the translators would have to examine
each string again and determine if it is merely re-wrapped or if the
content was also changed.
The long lines also introduce very ugly linebreaks in the .po files if
they are processed using the standard Gettext tools without using
something like '--width 85' all the time.

==== hg ==== --------------------------------------- Mercurial source code management system --------------------------------------- :Author: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> :Organization: Mercurial :Manual section: 1 :Manual group: Mercurial Manual SYNOPSIS -------- **hg** *command* [*option*]... [*argument*]... DESCRIPTION ----------- The **hg** command provides a command line interface to the Mercurial system. COMMAND ELEMENTS ---------------- files... indicates one or more filename or relative path filenames; see "FILE NAME PATTERNS" for information on pattern matching path indicates a path on the local machine revision indicates a changeset which can be specified as a changeset revision number, a tag, or a unique substring of the changeset hash value repository path either the pathname of a local repository or the URI of a remote repository. .. include:: hg.1.gendoc.txt FILES ----- ``.hgignore`` This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that describe file names that should be ignored by **hg**. For details, see |hgignore(5)|_. ``.hgtags`` This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one of each separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of the repository contents. ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc``, ``$HOME/.hgrc``, ``.hg/hgrc`` This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in ``.hg/hgrc`` override those in ``$HOME/.hgrc``, and these override settings made in the global ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` configuration. See |hgrc(5)|_ for details of the contents and format of these files. Some commands (e.g. revert) produce backup files ending in ``.orig``, if the ``.orig`` file already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial, it will be overwritten. BUGS ---- Probably lots, please post them to the mailing list (See Resources below) when you find them.
