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.
