convert: make subversion revsplit more stable when meeting revisions without @

revsplit would crash for instance if given a subversion string without @ ...
and that could somehow happen when playing around with convert.

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.
