[issue2155] rebasing to an ancester should work with --detach

[domruf]

New submission from domruf <dominikruf at gmail.com>:

When I try to rebase some changesets to an ancestor with the --detach option 
it doesn't work.
But if I create a new head by making a dummy commit (say adding some blank 
lines) it works.

1 2 3 4
o-o-o-o

rebase -s 3 -d 1
doesn't work

hg update -r 1
edit a file and commit

1 2 3 4
o-o-o-o
\5
 o

hg rebse -3 -d 5

1 2 
o-o
\3 4 5
 o-o-o
(5 3 4)
