doc: Add back quotes around filenames
Filenames starting with a dot (.hg and .hgignore) confuse man when
creating the ps documentation with "man -t hg >hg.ps" if they are not
enclosed in back quotes.
opener: use posixfile to hold file open when calling nlinks()
Mercurial's posixfile is less intrusive on Windows than Python's open
remove pointless os.path.join calls when opening files in .hg/cache
Windows deals just fine with '/' in paths and Mercurial on Windows
already does file accesses elsewhere with mixed \ and / in file
paths anyway.
This patch also makes the static-http repo case use proper URLs of the
form
http://example.com/repo/.hg/cache/branchheads
http://example.com/repo/.hg/cache/tags
instead of the entirely pointless
http://example.com/repo/.hg/cache%5Cbranchheads
http://example.com/repo/.hg/cache%5tags
(as introduced by

backout: make help more explicit about what backout does
The help for backout explains:
The backout command merges the reverse effect of the reverted
changeset into the working directory.
Unfortunately, that does not make it obvious to a newcomer what the
backout command does. Since it performs a 3-way merge, what is the
common ancestor? Will the result be automatically committed? What is
this reverted changeset --- is it the rev passed with -r on the
command line or its inverse?
So try to clarify the description, avoiding jargon and being
explicit about what happens from the user's perspective.
Thanks to Gilles Moris, Steve Borho, Kevin Bullock, and timeless for
help.
