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.

Additional tricky linkrev case ------------------------------ If the first file revision after the diff base has a linkrev pointing to a changeset on another branch with a revision lower that the diff base, we can jump past the copy detection limit and fail to detect the rename. $ hg init diffstoplinkrev $ cd diffstoplinkrev $ touch f $ hg ci -Aqm 'empty f' Make a simple change $ echo change > f $ hg ci -m 'change f' Make a rename because we want to track renames. It is also important that the faulty linkrev is not only the "start" commit to ensure the linkrev will be used. $ hg mv f renamed $ hg ci -m renamed Make a second branch, we use a named branch to create a simple commit that does not touch f. $ hg up -qr 'desc(empty)' $ hg branch -q dev $ hg ci -Aqm dev Graft the initial change and the rename. As f was untouched, we reuse the same entry and the linkrev point to the older branch. $ hg graft -q 'desc(change)' $ hg graft -q 'desc(renamed)' $ hg log -G -T '{rev} {desc}' @ 5 renamed | o 4 change f | o 3 dev | | o 2 renamed | | | o 1 change f |/ o 0 empty f The copy tracking should still reach rev 3 (branch creation). accessing the parent of 5 (renamed) should not jump use to revision 1. $ hg diff --git -r 'desc(dev)' -r . diff --git a/f b/renamed rename from f rename to renamed --- a/f +++ b/renamed @@ -0,0 +1,1 @@ +change Check debug output for copy tracing $ hg status --copies --rev 'desc(dev)' --rev . --config devel.debug.copies=yes --debug debug.copies: searching copies from a51f36ab1704 to 1f4aa1fd627b debug.copies: search mode: forward debug.copies: looking into rename from a51f36ab1704 to 1f4aa1fd627b debug.copies: missing files to search: 1 debug.copies: tracing file: renamed debug.copies: rename of: f debug.copies: time: * seconds (glob) A renamed f R f Check that merging across the rename works $ echo modified >> renamed $ hg co -m 4 merging renamed and f to f 0 files updated, 1 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved $ cd ..
