histedit: select the lowest rev when looking for a root in a revset (bc)

When we specify a revision or a revset we just get the last element from the
list. For revsets this can lead to unintended effects where you specify a
revset like only() but instead histedit selects the highest revision in the
set as root. Therefore we should always use the lowest revision number as
root.

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.
