test-dispatch: stabilize the test When cwd is removed and `hg` is executed, some shells may run `getcwd` before forking and executing, some may not do it, some may print a different error message. The test should be shell-independent so let's just avoid checking the error message. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D1282

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
