IMO, a dummy merge at the tip of the default branch may confuse users
looking at the history, especially if they try a graphical display of
the DAG (e.g. "hg glog" or the graph page in the Web UI).

Besides, it would precisely make it harder to distinguish between
trunk and py3k development at the time both took place in parallel.
