log: describe graph symbols in the help

I wondered what 'x' meant and didn't find it described anywhere.

    By default this command prints revision number and changeset id,
    tags, non-trivial parents, user, date and time, and a summary for
    each commit. When the -v/--verbose switch is used, the list of
    changed files and full commit message are shown.

    .. note::

       log -p/--patch may generate unexpected diff output for merge
       changesets, as it will only compare the merge changeset against
       its first parent. Also, only files different from BOTH parents

    changed files and full commit message are shown.

    With --graph the revisions are shown as an ASCII art DAG with the most
    recent changeset at the top.
    'o' is a changeset, '@' is a working directory parent, 'x' is obsolete,
    and '+' represents a fork where the changeset from the lines below is a
    parent of the 'o' merge on the same same line.
