`hg metaedit` appears to change the timestamp by default, something one would
not expect since there exists a flag (-D / --current-date) for doing this.

This was done in a relatively clean environment:

~$ echo hello > hello
~$ hg --config extensions.evolve= add hello
~$ hg --config extensions.evolve= ci -m 'hello' -u test
~$ hg --config extensions.evolve= metaed -m 'hello' --config ui.username=me
