absorb: preserve changesets which were already empty
Most commands in Mercurial (commit, rebase, absorb itself) don’t create empty
changesets or drop them if they become empty. If there’s a changeset that’s
empty, it must be a deliberate choice of the user. At least it shouldn’t be
absorb’s responsibility to prune them. The fact that changesets that became
empty during absorb are pruned, is unaffected by this.
This case was found while writing patches which make it possible to configure
absorb and rebase to not drop empty changesets. Even without having such config
set, I think it’s valuable to preserve changesets which were already empty.

summary: a
Early tree conflict doesn't leave histedit in a wedged state. Note
that we don't specify --commands here: we catch the problem before we
even prompt the user for rules, sidestepping any dataloss issues.
$ hg rm c
$ hg ci -m 'remove c'
$ echo collision > c
$ hg histedit e860deea161a
c: untracked file differs
abort: untracked files in working directory conflict with files in 055a42cdd887
[255]
We should have detected the collision early enough we're not in a
histedit state, and p1 is unchanged.
