+    The splicemap is a file that allows insertion of synthetic
+    history, letting you specify the parents of a revision.  This is
+    useful if you want to e.g. give a Subversion merge two parents, or
+    graft two disconnected series of history together.  Each entry
+    contains a key, followed by a space, followed by one or two
+    values, separated by spaces.  The key is the revision ID in the
+    source revision control system whose parents should be modified
+    (same format as a key in .hg/shamap).  The values are the revision
+    IDs (in either the source or destination revision control system)
+    that should be used as the new parents for that node.
