changegroup: don't send empty subdirectory manifest groups When grafting/rebasing, it is common for multiple changesets to make the same change to a subdirectory. When writing the revlog for the directory, the revlog code already takes care of not writing the entry again. In 0c2a088ffcc5 (changegroup: prune subdirectory dirlogs too, 2016-02-12), I added the corresponding code in changegroup (not sending entries the client already has), but I forgot to avoid sending the entire changegroup if no nodes remained in the pruned set. Although that's harmless besides the wasted network traffic, the receiving side was checking for it (copied from the changegroup code for handling files). This resulted in the client crashing with: abort: received dir revlog group is empty Fix by simply not emitting a changegroup for the directory if there were no changes is it. This matches how files are handled.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
