commit: allow to close branch when committing change over a closed head
Otherwise, an explicit other commit become necessary, which seems both silly and
verbose.
This is useful when merging closed heads on the same branches, for example when
merging multiple repositories together.
#require symlink
$ origdir=`pwd`
$ hg init repo
$ cd repo
$ ln -s nothing dangling
avoid tar warnings about old timestamp
$ hg ci -d '2000-01-01 00:00:00 +0000' -qAm 'add symlink'
$ hg archive -t files ../archive
$ hg archive -t tar -p tar ../archive.tar
$ hg archive -t zip -p zip ../archive.zip
