histedit: reword message when a changeset produces no changes

There are various ways to use histedit such that an item in
the list of things to perform will not result in a change
relative to the previous repository state.

When that happens, histedit does not keep the commit/message.

This changes the note to try to explain to the user that it
will not be present in their history.

#!/usr/bin/env python

__doc__ = """Same as `echo a >> b`, but ensures a changed mtime of b.
Without this svn will not detect workspace changes."""

    f.write(text)
    f.write("\n")
finally:
