rewriteutil: check for divergence
This code is adapted from the code in the evolve extension. It seems
to be equivalent as far as the evolve extension's test suite can tell
(the only impact when making their `precheck()` delegate to our
version is that error messages are less detailed).
I had to change the error message to work with "change branch of"
being inserted as the action.

$ hg init
$ echo a > a
$ hg ci -Ama
adding a
$ echo b > b
$ hg branch b
marked working directory as branch b
(branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
$ hg ci -Amb
adding b
$ hg co -C 0
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
Fast-forward:
$ hg merge b
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
(branch merge, don't forget to commit)
$ hg ci -Ammerge
Bogus fast-forward should fail:
$ hg merge b
abort: merging with a working directory ancestor has no effect

Even with strange revset (issue4465)
$ hg merge ::.
abort: merging with a working directory ancestor has no effect
