branchcache: do not accept "empty update"
This currently does not happens and it will be simpler that is remains that way.
If all update do something, we will be able to simply declare, in a later
changesets, that all update to result in a dirty branchcache.
Test null revisions (node 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000, aka rev -1)
in various circumstances.
Make an empty repo:
$ hg init a
$ cd a
$ hg files -r 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
[1]
$ hg files -r .
[1]
Add an empty commit (this makes the changelog refer to a null manifest node):
$ hg commit -m "init" --config ui.allowemptycommit=true
$ hg files -r .
[1]
Strip that empty commit (this makes the changelog file empty, as opposed to missing):
$ hg --config 'extensions.strip=' strip . > /dev/null
$ hg files -r .
