doc: change 'revision or range' to 'revision or revset' The phrase "revision or range" comes from a pre-revset era. Since the documentation for ranges now is under the revset docs, and as a helpful hint nudging users towards revsets, I think it's better to say "revision or revset"

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
