rewriteutil: fix crash when a rewritten message references f{6,64}

Without this, the rewriteutil logic thinks it's found a reference to the wdir
pseudo-revision, and then tries to look it up and rewrite it. Stop it from
doing that.

Amusingly, I had trouble working with this changeset when I didn't
describe the defect above using a regular expression, because it would
trigger the bug in my installed version of hg.

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:

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