alias: fixes exception when displaying translated help text

__doc__ of aliased command shouldn't cointain non-ASCII characters,
because it'll be gettext-ed later by commands.help_().
Here gettext can raise UnicodeDecodeError.

Once concatenated two translatable strings into one, it become untranslatable.
So this patch moves 'alias for:' from dispatch.cmdalias to commands.help_,
where help texts are translated.

'alias for:' was introduced by 6e8a16dd3e30.

#!/usr/bin/env python

__doc__ = """Same as `echo a >> b`, but ensures a changed mtime of b.
Without this svn will not detect workspace changes."""

import sys, os

text = sys.argv[1]

f = open(fname, "ab")
try:
    before = os.fstat(f.fileno()).st_mtime
    f.write(text)
    f.write("\n")
finally:
    f.close()
inc = 1
now = os.stat(fname).st_mtime
while now == before:
    t = now + inc
    inc += 1
    os.utime(fname, (t, t))
    now = os.stat(fname).st_mtime
