rebase: change "result would have 3 parent" error message (BC) The old error message "cannot use revision REV as base, result would have 3 parents" is confusing - why use REV as base? why add a new parent?. This patch changes it to "cannot move parent", which seems better. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D342
