graft: always allow hg graft --base . (issue6248) `hg graft --base . -r abc` is rejected before this change with a "nothing to merge" error, if `abc` does not descend from `.`. This looks like an artifact of the implementation rather than intended behavior. It makes perfect sense to apply the diff between `.` and `abc` to the working copy (i.e. degenerate into `hg revert`), regardless of what `abc` is.

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.
