docs/vcs_support: add information on importing repositories

This change directly relates to issue #254.

Some rework of the original patch done by Thomas De Schampheleire:
- generalize to cover both Mercurial and Git
- simplify instructions for importing via filesystem: don't impose a certain
flow as it depends on different factors: are the repos already present on
the machine, are they organized in a flat hierarchy or already in a more
complex one, ...
- invalidating cache while rescanning should not be needed when adding new
repositories

.. _backup:

====================
Backing up Kallithea
====================


Settings
--------

Just copy your .ini file, it contains all Kallithea settings.


Whoosh index
------------

The Whoosh index is located in the ``data/index`` directory where you installed
Kallithea, i.e., the same place where the ini file is located


Database
--------

When using sqlite just copy kallithea.db.
Any other database engine requires a manual backup operation.

A database backup will contain all gathered statistics.
