localrepo: use revsymbol() in lookup() lookup() seems to be about looking up a revision based on a symbol that may come from the user (via the wire protocol), so revsymbol() is appropriate here. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3055

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.
