push-to try pushes empty changesets to the try server.

I used
  hg push-to-try -m"try: -b do -p linux64,win32 -u all -t none"

The output was:

Creating temporary commit for remote...

temporary commit removed, repository restored

Note "0 changes to 0 files".
Indeed, https://hg.mozilla.org/try/rev/e50235398fd1 shows an empty changeset.

To workaround, I used "hg commit --amend -e" to add the "try: " incantation to the summary, and "hg push -r 259147 -f try".
