New submission from Chris Jerdonek:

In various places, the devguide recommends `hg graft`, but it appears it might 
not be possible to use on some systems or in certain situations.  For example, 
when I tried grafting a trivial change from 2.7 to 3.2 on Mac OS X, I got the 
following fatal error:

$ hg graft 2.7
grafting revision 81391
abort: case-folding collision between Lib/ConfigParser.py and 
Lib/configparser.py

Here is some related information:

At the least, we might want to add a note saying that `hg graft` may not work 
on certain systems (and name those systems).
