convert: improve exception reporting for SVN logstream

- catch all exceptions
- pickle a stringified version of the exception
- use a normal abort

Hopefully this will result in less mysterious convert exceptions

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.
