cmdutil: fix amend when passing a date Following https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D636, passing the same date that the changeset to amend would results in no new commits but the output changed from: $ hg amend -d '0 0' nothing changed [1] to: $ hg amend -d '0 0' Restore the old behavior by parsing the date passed as parameter so the condition "date == old.date()" correctly works in cases both dates are identical. Add a test for covering this regression. This bug was found thanks to Evolve test suite. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D691
