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.

Test backup-bundle config option |
==================================
Test with Pre-obsmarker rebase:
1) When config option is not set:
$ hg init repo1
$ cd repo1
$ echo a>a
$ hg ci -qAma
$ echo b>b
$ hg ci -qAmb
$ echo c>c
$ hg ci -qAmc
$ hg up 0 -q
$ echo d>d
$ hg ci -qAmd
$ echo e>e
$ hg ci -qAme
$ hg log -GT "{rev}: {firstline(desc)}\n"
@ 4: e
|
o 3: d
|
| o 2: c
| |
| o 1: b
|/
o 0: a
$ hg rebase -s 1 -d .
rebasing 1:d2ae7f538514 "b"
rebasing 2:177f92b77385 "c"
saved backup bundle to $TESTTMP/repo1/.hg/strip-backup/d2ae7f538514-c7ed7a78-rebase.hg
$ hg log -GT "{rev}: {firstline(desc)}\n"
o 4: c

$ hg ci -Aqmg

Test when rebased revisions are stripped during abort:
======================================================
$ echo conflict > c
$ hg ci -Am "conflict with c"
adding c
created new head
$ hg log -GT "{rev}: {firstline(desc)}\n"
@ 7: conflict with c
