commit: no longer allow empty commit with the 'force' argument (API)
The new way to allow empty commit is to temporarily set the
'ui.allowemptycommit' config option.
allowemptyback = repo.ui.backupconfig('ui', 'allowemptycommit')
try:
repo.ui.setconfig('ui', 'allowemptycommit', True)
repo.commit(...)
finally:
repo.ui.restoreconfig(allowemptyback)
All known uses of force for allowing empty commits have been removed, so let's
remove it from the allowemptycommits condition.
$ hg init
$ echo 123 > a
$ hg add a
$ hg commit -m "first" a
$ mkdir sub
$ echo 321 > sub/b
$ hg add sub/b
$ hg commit -m "second" sub/b
$ cat sub/b
321
$ hg co 0
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cat sub/b 2>/dev/null || echo "sub/b not present"
sub/b not present
$ test -d sub || echo "sub not present"
sub not present
