[issue1160] Phrasing of "on the same branch" in "hg strip" documentation is misleading/confusing

New submission from Carl Worth <cworth at cworth.org>:
The "hg strip" command is documented as follows:
strip a revision and all later revs on the same branch
The phrasing of "all later revs on the same branch" is unfortunate.
I suggest replacing it with something that more accurately describes
what the effect of the command is. Perhaps just "all later revs"
would be more clear. Or perhaps mentioning "descendant commits" or
"all commits that have the stripped commit as an acestor" or whatever
the preferred terminology might be within hg documentation.
