copies: add more details to the documentation of mergecopies()
This documentation is very helpful for any developer to understand what
copytracing is and what the function does. Since this is the main function of
doing copytracing, I have also included bits about copytracing in it.
This additions are picked from a doc by Stash@Fb. So thanks to him.

Some commands allow the user to specify a date, e.g.: - backout, commit, import, tag: Specify the commit date. - log, revert, update: Select revision(s) by date. Many date formats are valid. Here are some examples: - ``Wed Dec 6 13:18:29 2006`` (local timezone assumed) - ``Dec 6 13:18 -0600`` (year assumed, time offset provided) - ``Dec 6 13:18 UTC`` (UTC and GMT are aliases for +0000) - ``Dec 6`` (midnight) - ``13:18`` (today assumed) - ``3:39`` (3:39AM assumed) - ``3:39pm`` (15:39) - ``2006-12-06 13:18:29`` (ISO 8601 format) - ``2006-12-6 13:18`` - ``2006-12-6`` - ``12-6`` - ``12/6`` - ``12/6/6`` (Dec 6 2006) - ``today`` (midnight) - ``yesterday`` (midnight) - ``now`` - right now Lastly, there is Mercurial's internal format: - ``1165411109 0`` (Wed Dec 6 13:18:29 2006 UTC) This is the internal representation format for dates. The first number is the number of seconds since the epoch (1970-01-01 00:00 UTC). The second is the offset of the local timezone, in seconds west of UTC (negative if the timezone is east of UTC). The log command also accepts date ranges: - ``<DATE`` - at or before a given date/time - ``>DATE`` - on or after a given date/time - ``DATE to DATE`` - a date range, inclusive - ``-DAYS`` - within a given number of days of today
