[RFC] wiki pages about Mercurial commands

[cc-ing to Doug]

After some recent discussion initiated by Doug on the list [1],
I've changed the page about the "hg revert" command on the wiki.

Specifically, I'm referring to:
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/Revert?action=recall&rev=19

thus presenting a prototype for how a wiki page about a Mercurial
command might look.

On top is a direct link into the relevant section of the html
version of the man page (hg.1.html#revert) -- instead of
copy/pasting that text, as Doug rightfully criticized.

Since the current version of hg.1.html at the official URL [2] is
outdated and contains no anchors, I've temporarily uploaded an updated
version of hg.1.html somewhere else on the web as a proof of concept
(see also my pending patch [3]).

Of course, I would prefer to have the html page at the official URL
updated by Matt, as I don't want to spam the wiki with external
links to domains of my own.

Opinions? Suggestions?
