It makes no sense for qfinish... because qfinish never modifies commits (which,
like any other history-editing operation, implies completely stripping it and
all its descendants out of the repository history and writing new versions with
new commit hashes). It simply removes one or more commit hashes from the list of
mq-managed commits.
