Improved hgweb test.
The hgweb fix in 069b29656401 aimed at restoring the "back" link in hgweb's
filelog that has been lost in 62e0bb41e682. However, the previous version of
this test ran the filelog command on a file with only a single filelog entry.
In this case, the previous hgweb version did not exhibit the bug. The error
condition is now correctly tested with a filelog of 2 entries.

Mercurial's documentation is currently kept in ASCIIDOC format, which
is a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit. It's also
convertible to a variety of other formats including standard UNIX man
page format and HTML.

To do this, you'll need to install ASCIIDOC:

 http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/

To generate the man page:

 asciidoc -d manpage -b docbook hg.1.txt
 xmlto man hg.1.xml

To display:

 groff -mandoc -Tascii hg.1 | more

To create the html page (without stylesheets):

 asciidoc -b html4 hg.1.txt

(older asciidoc may want html instead of html4 above)
