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.
Create an empty repo:
$ hg init a
$ cd a
Try some commands:
$ hg log
$ hg grep wah
[1]
$ hg manifest
$ hg verify
checking changesets
checking manifests
crosschecking files in changesets and manifests
checking files
checked 0 changesets with 0 changes to 0 files
Check the basic files created:
$ ls .hg
00changelog.i
cache
requires
store
wcache
Should be empty (except for the "basic" requires):
$ ls .hg/store
requires
Poke at a clone:
$ cd ..
$ hg clone a b
updating to branch default
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cd b
$ hg verify
