templates: reword 'back to filelog' link anchor text This anchor text is problematic in two ways: first, the "back to" part assumes that you got to the page showing it via the filelog. This is not necessarily true, as there are other ways to get to that view besides the filelog view, such as for example following the history of lines from a file. Second, it uses "filelog" jargon, which refers to how each file has its own revlog. This is internal jargon that has no business being exposed to the end user. I just reworded this template to improve understanding.

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

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

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

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

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