tag: fix uncommitted merge check and error message (issue2542)

This patch corrects the check for tagging on an uncommitted merge. We
should never commit a new tag changeset on an uncommitted merge, whether
or not --rev is specified. It also changes the error message from:

  abort: cannot partially commit a merge (do not specify files or patterns)

to the much more accurate (and terse):

  abort: uncommitted merge

Local tags are ok.
