merge: remove confusing comment about --force

manifestmerge() has a piece of code that's roughly:

  if not force and different:
      abort
  else:
      # if different: old untracked f may be overwritten and lost
      ...

The comment only talks about what happens when 'different' is true,
and in combination with the if-block above, that must mean that it is
only about what happens when 'force and different'. It seems quite
fine that files are overwritten when 'force' is true, so let's remove
the comment. As it stands, it can easily be interpreted as a TODO
(which is how I interpreted it at first).

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.
