Making "hg push -r foo" changes phases

I think there's no need to continue discussing removing --force for 
moving from draft to secret.

As I said previously there's no need to force if you create the commit 
as secret straight away, and the desire to do something that needs to be 
forced is a symptom of a different problem; that you didn't create the 
commit as secret in the first place.

The correct way to do this is thusly:

     hg commit --config new-commit=secret

Doing it this way is by design[1], quote:

Let's focus the discussion on how to make that easier. I propose a 
--secret flag on commit.
