REVISION SUMMARY
  The problem is that when committing a new file with empty contents (or
  in general empty file with filelog p1 = -1), hg commit with narrow
  doesn't create a filelog revision at all, which causes failures in
  further commands.
  
  The problem seems to be that:
  
  - hg thinks that instead of creating a new filelog revision, it can use the filelog's p1 (the nullrev)
  - because it thinks the file contents is the same in that revision and in p1
  - because `narrowfilelog.cmp(nullrev, b'')` is True (unlike with `filelog.cmp`)
  
  It's not clear to me which `cmp` behaves better. But I think it makes
  sense to change the commit code to not to "reuse" the null rev when
  adding an empty file with filelog p1 == filelog p2 == -1. This is
  consistent with never writing the null rev in the manifest, which `hg
  verify` claims is an invariant:
  
    inside/c at 4: manifest refers to unknown revision 000000000000
