      backout: make help more explicit about what backout does · 02aa06a021a0
      Jonathan Nieder authored
      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.
