rewriteutil: check for divergence

This code is adapted from the code in the evolve extension. It seems
to be equivalent as far as the evolve extension's test suite can tell
(the only impact when making their `precheck()` delegate to our
version is that error messages are less detailed).

I had to change the error message to work with "change branch of"
being inserted as the action.

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:

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