I'm just afraid that aborting "hg histedit" was suitable for Mercurial
philosophy than automatic choice of target revisions, if there are
multiple roots in outgoing revisions.

For example, if it could be assumed that users often misunderstand
about outgoing (and histedit target) revisions when there are multiple
roots in them, convenience of target revision choice shouldn't be so
important. "hg histedit" should be aborted to avoid confusion.

I think that the automatic choice is convenient and reasonable, but
it may not be so from the other point of views.
