[PATCH 1/1] sequencer: fix empty commit check when amending

["Phillip Wood via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This fixes a regression introduced in 356ee4659b ("sequencer: try to
commit without forking 'git commit'", 2017-11-24). When amending a
commit try_to_commit() was using the wrong parent when checking if the
commit would be empty. When amending we need to check against HEAD^ not
HEAD.

t3403 may not seem like the natural home for the new tests but a further
patch series will improve the advice printed by `git commit`. That
series will mutate these tests to check that the advice includes
suggesting `rebase --skip` to skip the fixup that would empty the
commit.
