absorb: preserve changesets which were already empty

Most commands in Mercurial (commit, rebase, absorb itself) don’t create empty
changesets or drop them if they become empty. If there’s a changeset that’s
empty, it must be a deliberate choice of the user. At least it shouldn’t be
absorb’s responsibility to prune them. The fact that changesets that became
empty during absorb are pruned, is unaffected by this.

This case was found while writing patches which make it possible to configure
absorb and rebase to not drop empty changesets. Even without having such config
set, I think it’s valuable to preserve changesets which were already empty.

  $ hg init
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg ci -Am0
  adding a

  $ hg -q clone . foo

  $ touch .hg/store/journal

  $ echo foo > a
  $ hg ci -Am0
  abort: abandoned transaction found!
  (run 'hg recover' to clean up transaction)
  [255]

  $ hg recover
  rolling back interrupted transaction
  (verify step skipped, run `hg verify` to check your repository content)

recover, explicit verify

  $ touch .hg/store/journal
  $ hg ci -Am0
  abort: abandoned transaction found!
  (run 'hg recover' to clean up transaction)
  [255]
  $ hg recover --verify
  rolling back interrupted transaction
  checking changesets
  checking manifests
  crosschecking files in changesets and manifests
  checking files
  checked 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files

recover, no verify

  $ touch .hg/store/journal
  $ hg ci -Am0
  abort: abandoned transaction found!
  (run 'hg recover' to clean up transaction)
  [255]
  $ hg recover --no-verify
  rolling back interrupted transaction
  (verify step skipped, run `hg verify` to check your repository content)


Check that zero-size journals are correctly aborted:

#if unix-permissions no-root
  $ hg bundle -qa repo.hg
  $ chmod -w foo/.hg/store/00changelog.i

  $ hg -R foo unbundle repo.hg
  adding changesets
  abort: Permission denied: '$TESTTMP/foo/.hg/store/.00changelog.i-*' (glob)
  [255]

  $ if test -f foo/.hg/store/journal; then echo 'journal exists :-('; fi
#endif
