commit: check branch change on to-be-committed changeset

This makes a difference when a branch name is passed via the `extra` argument,
which will be used as the branch name for the created changeset. The empty
commit check should use that branch name instead of whatever was set on the
working directory.

Besides fixing the bug for which a test case was extended, it enables to remove
a workaround in the rebase extension, which will be done in a follow-up patch
(D8725).

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
