rebase: delete seemingly unnecessary needupdate() This seemed to be about checking that the user hasn't updated away when we asked them to resolve merge conflicts. These days we call `cmdutil.checkunfinished()` and refuse to update, so the user shouldn't be able to get into this state. `test-rebase-interruptions.t` actually has some tests where it disables the rebase extension in order to be allowed to do some of these updates. That still passes, but I wouldn't personally haved cared if that failed. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7825

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:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

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