cmdserver, runcommand: properly handle the client sending no arguments

No real reason for a client to do this, but still possible.

Previously if the client sent no arguments, a list with an empty string ['']
would be used as the arguments to dispatch, which would cause hg to complain
about an ambiguous command.

Instead, we simply check for no arguments and use an empty list instead (which
is equivalent to invoking hg with no args on the command line).

'''share a common history between several working directories'''

def share(ui, source, dest=None, noupdate=False):
    """create a new shared repository

    Initialize a new repository and working directory that shares its
    history with another repository.

    .. note::
       using rollback or extensions that destroy/modify history (mq,
       rebase, etc.) can cause considerable confusion with shared
       clones. In particular, if two shared clones are both updated to
       the same changeset, and one of them destroys that changeset
       with rollback, the other clone will suddenly stop working: all
       operations will fail with "abort: working directory has unknown
       parent". The only known workaround is to use debugsetparents on
       the broken clone to reset it to a changeset that still exists
       (e.g. tip).
