localrepo: save manually edited commit message as soon as possible

Before this patch, "localrepository.commit()" invokes specified
"editor" to edit commit message manually, and saves it after checking
sub-repositories.

This may lose manually edited commit message, if unexpected exception
is raised while checking (or commiting recursively) sub-repositories.

This patch saves manually edited commit message as soon as possible.

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.
