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.

Synopsis
""""""""
**hg-ssh** repositories...

Description
"""""""""""
**hg-ssh** is a wrapper for ssh access to a limited set of mercurial repos.

To be used in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys with the "command" option, see sshd(8):
command="hg-ssh path/to/repo1 /path/to/repo2 ~/repo3 ~user/repo4" ssh-dss ...
(probably together with these other useful options:
no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding)

This allows pull/push over ssh from/to the repositories given as arguments.

If all your repositories are subdirectories of a common directory, you can
allow shorter paths with:
command="cd path/to/my/repositories && hg-ssh repo1 subdir/repo2"

You can use pattern matching of your normal shell, e.g.:
command="cd repos && hg-ssh user/thomas/* projects/{mercurial,foo}"

You can also add a --read-only flag to allow read-only access to a key, e.g.:
command="hg-ssh --read-only repos/\*"

Bugs
