largefiles: update should only create a .orig backup of a largefile once

A .orig of a standin after the update do that a .orig of the actual largefile
is created. The .orig standin was however never removed again and the largefile
.orig was thus overwritten again and again.

The fix: remove the standin .orig when it is used.

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.
