largefiles: teach log to handle patterns

Adding the standin to the patterns list was (possibly) harmless before, but was
wrong, because the pattern list was already updated above that code.  Now that
patterns are handled, it was actually harmful.  For example, in this test:

    $ hg log -G glob:**another*

the adjusted pattern list would have been:

    ['glob:**another*', '.hglf/.', 'glob:.hglf/**another*']

which causes every largefile in the root to be matched.


I'm not sure why 'glob:a*' picks up the rename of a -> b commit in test-log.t,
but a simple 'a' doesn't.  But it doesn't appear to be caused by the largefiles
extension.

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:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
