uncommit: leave empty commit if all files are uncommitted

We had instructions for our internal users to add copy information
after commit like this:

  hg uncommit <srcfile> <dstfile>
  hg cp --after <srcfile> <dstfile>
  hg amend

That usually works, but if the rename was the only change in that
commit, then the commit would get pruned. It's easy to fix the recipe:
just pass the --keep option. However, it seems too subtle, so I think
this is an indication that the commit should not be pruned if any
patterns were given.

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.
