rebase --rebase-merges: avoid "empty merges"
The `git merge` command does not allow merging commits that are already
reachable from HEAD: `git merge HEAD^`, for example, will report that we
are already up to date and not change a thing.
In an interactive rebase, such a merge could occur previously, e.g. when
competing (or slightly modified) versions of a patch series were applied
upstream, and the user had to `git rebase --skip` all of the local
commits, and the topic branch becomes "empty" as a consequence.
Let's teach the todo command `merge` to behave the same as `git merge`.
Seeing as it requires some low-level trickery to create such merges with
Git's commands in the first place, we do not even have to bother to
introduce an option to force `merge` to create such merge commits.
