context: clarify that only one attempt is made to interpret changeid We can now tell what type of revision specifier we have just by looking at it (we no longer attempt to interpret it in one way after the other -- that's now in scmutil.revsymbol()). Let's clarify this in the code by swithing to if/elif. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3451

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.
