Summary

If the user doesn't specify a commit to merge with, we'll have
node==None in commands.merge(). We'll then try to find a good
commit to merge with. However, if the user, for some strange reason,
runs hg merge 'wdir()', we'll also have node==None and we'll do
that same. That's clearly not the intent, so let's not do that.

It turns out we'd instead crash on that command after this patch, so I
added special handling of it too.

Looks like we don't have tests for hg merge 'wdir()'. Also I am not sure what should be the correct behavior in that case.

Yes, I just didn't care enough to add tests. I don't care much because it's such a weird thing for the user to do. I changed this only in order to clarify the control flow and how node gets assigned. I can add a test if you want.

Turns out we actually crash :P Let me add a test.
