[issue1159] "hg strip" documentation should say what happens to working tree and "parent"

[Carl Worth]

New submission from Carl Worth <cworth at cworth.org>:

The "hg strip" documentation is exceedingly terse. I could only find this
single sentence description:

    strip a revision and all later revs on the same branch

with "hg -v help strip". This is fine as far as a single sentence goes, but
I was left wondering what would happen if I stripped away my most recent
commit. What would happen to my working tree and where would "parent" now
point to?
