merge: allow merging going backwards
New behavior is generally superior and more correct, except possibly
with regards to missing files. hg up . is now effectively a no-op,
which is probably the desired behavior for people expecting to move to

case 1: update to .
a-w -> a-w
classic: ancestor a
missing recreated right?
rmed recreated WRONG
added forgotten WRONG
changed preserved RIGHT
conflicted can't happen
backward merge: ancestor a (NO EFFECT)
missing missing wrong?
rm'ed rm'ed RIGHT
added preserved RIGHT
changed preserved RIGHT
conflicted can't happen
case 2: update to ancestor of .
a-b-w -> b-w

conflicted preserved wrong?
backwards merge: ancestor b
missing missing or conflict right?
