build: for the bootstrap phase of a deb/rpm build pure-py mercurial is enough
When bootstrapping a deb/rpm build, packagelib.sh starts performing a local
build for the sole purpose of parsing the output of "hg version".
Then it "hg archive"s the source code, and builds everything again.
For that initial step, we are perfectly good in using a pure python mercurial,
without compiling the c modules (base85, bdiff, zstdlib, ...).
On my personal system, this cuts down 22 seconds for a package build (the
bootstrapping build goes from ~30 to ~8 seconds).

Add a merge with one parent in the same branch
$ echo a >> a
$ hg ci -qAm changea
$ hg up -qC 0
$ hg branch branch0
marked working directory as branch branch0
(branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)

1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
