canonpath: fix infinite recursion

commit: no longer allow empty commit with the 'force' argument (API) The new way to allow empty commit is to temporarily set the 'ui.allowemptycommit' config option. allowemptyback = repo.ui.backupconfig('ui', 'allowemptycommit') try: repo.ui.setconfig('ui', 'allowemptycommit', True) repo.commit(...) finally: repo.ui.restoreconfig(allowemptyback) All known uses of force for allowing empty commits have been removed, so let's remove it from the allowemptycommits condition.

import: use ui.allowemptycommit to allow empty commits Previously import used force=partial to allow empty commits to be made. Let's switch it to using the new ui.allowemptycommit option. Tests says we can drop the 'force' argument in the processs.

mq: use ui.allowemptycommit to allow empty commits Previously, mq used the force flag to allow empty commits. Now that we have ui.allowemptycommit let's switch to that instead. We can't completely remove the force flag since it is used for a bunch of other behavior in localrepo.commit.

commit: add ui.allowemptycommit config option This adds a config flag that enables a user to make empty commits. This is useful in a number of cases. For instance, automation that creates release branches via bookmarks may want to make empty commits to that release bookmark so that it can't be fast-forwarded and so it can record information about the release bookmark's creation. This is already possible with named branches, so making it possible for bookmarks makes sense. Another case we've wanted it is for mirroring repositories into Mercurial. We have automation that syncs commits into hg by running things from the command line. The ability to produce empty commits is useful for syncing unusual commits from other VCS's. In general, allowing the user to create the DAG as they see fit seems useful, and when I mentioned this in IRC more than one person piped up and said they were already hacking around this limitation by using mq, import, and commit-dummy-change-then-amend-the-content-away style solutions.

commit: move empty commit condition to a new line The empty commit condition was a messy if condition. Let's move it to a new line and change it to 'or' statements so it's cleaner and more readable. A future commit will add additional logic to this line.
