Before this patch, test-issue842.t and a few more tests fail when they
try to refer to the null revision by using a "000.." prefix of it (or
because they use the "shortest" template function which internally
does that).
This should have been part of my a3dacabd476b (index: don't allow
index[len(index)] to mean nullid, 2018-07-20), but I had forgotten to
update another part of the pure code there, so it didn't fail until
a1f934573c0b (parsers: adjust pure-python version to mimic
a3dacabd476b, 2018-08-09) and 65d5de1169dd (revlog: fix pure nodemap
to not access missing index entry, 2018-08-17) fixed the other things
I had missed.
