rebase: prevent creating divergence

Before this patch rebase would create divergence when you were rebasing obsolete
changesets on a destination not containing one of its successors.
This patch introduces rebase.allowdivergence to explicitly allow
divergence creation with rebase.

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.
