convert/git: abort if git submodules are detected (issue2150)

This improves the error message when convert encounters a git
submodule. Now, instead of a git-cat-file error, we'll directly report
the lack of support for git submodules.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

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.
