Could I get review for:

  #412 backup cannot safely restore an uncommitted merge, should
   refuse to try

  Webrev: http://cr.opensolaris.org/~richlowe/scm_412

  Bug: http://bugs.grommit.com/show_bug.cgi?id=412

There's some notes in the bug as to why this must be done, but they're
perhaps not coherent.

The important information is that, at present, we do not know of a way
to validly restore an uncommitted merge that does not either lose
(uncommitted) data, or risk losing uncommitted data.

It would be better to actively prevent this being done than to allow
it and attempt to pick up the pieces afterward.  It is unclear whether
a way to actually allow this can be devised, but should it be
possible, it will be dealt with under a subsequent bug.
