merge: remove confusing comment about --force

manifestmerge() has a piece of code that's roughly:

  if not force and different:
      abort
  else:
      # if different: old untracked f may be overwritten and lost
      ...

The comment only talks about what happens when 'different' is true,
and in combination with the if-block above, that must mean that it is
only about what happens when 'force and different'. It seems quite
fine that files are overwritten when 'force' is true, so let's remove
the comment. As it stands, it can easily be interpreted as a TODO
(which is how I interpreted it at first).

Repository data:

  $ hg cat stuff.txt
  Some stuff to ponder very carefully.

Fresh checkout:

  $ rm stuff.txt
  $ hg up -C
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cat stuff.txt
  Copyright 2046, The Masters
  Some stuff to ponder very carefully.
  $ echo "Very very carefully." >> stuff.txt
  $ hg stat
  M stuff.txt

  $ echo "Unauthorized material subject to destruction." > morestuff.txt

Problem encoding:

  $ hg add morestuff.txt
  $ hg ci -m morestuff
  abort: missing header "Copyright 2046, The Masters" in morestuff.txt
  [255]
  $ hg stat
  M stuff.txt
