0.3.41 let `zit merge-tree --commit` record a clean merge, but only when the
two sides had changed at least one file in common. The commonest clean
merge, a branch that touched different files from trunk, was refused with
"cannot scope the working area" and nothing was written.

0.3.42 records it. A forge can now merge any clean pair from the web with

```
zit merge-tree -R REPO FEAT --into trunk --commit -m MESSAGE --user NAME \
  --expect-current TRUNK_TIP --expect-other FEAT_TIP
```

and get the check-in `zit merge FEAT` and `zit commit` would make in a
checkout. Nothing else changed.
