revert: add some inline comments

I spend some time understanding how this part of the revert code is
working. I'm adding some comments to help the code readability. I
expect most of them to disappear in a coming refactoring. But the
refactoring should be easier to follow with the comment.

import os, __builtin__
from mercurial import util

def lowerwrap(scope, funcname):
    f = getattr(scope, funcname)
    def wrap(fname, *args, **kwargs):
        d, base = os.path.split(fname)
        try:
            files = os.listdir(d or '.')
        except OSError:
            files = []
        if base in files:
            return f(fname, *args, **kwargs)
        for fn in files:
            if fn.lower() == base.lower():
                return f(os.path.join(d, fn), *args, **kwargs)
        return f(fname, *args, **kwargs)
    scope.__dict__[funcname] = wrap

def normcase(path):
    return path.lower()

os.path.normcase = normcase

for f in 'file open'.split():
    lowerwrap(__builtin__, f)

for f in "chmod chown open lstat stat remove unlink".split():
    lowerwrap(os, f)

for f in "exists lexists".split():
    lowerwrap(os.path, f)

lowerwrap(util, 'posixfile')
