topic: make sure we have the 'wlock' when setting topic We where writing the '.hg/topic' file without a lot. That was bad.

# topics

Topics are an experiment to see if maybe the workflow defined by git
branches and hg bookmarks is only partially what users want - perhaps
something that feels more like a traditional VCS branch is right, but
that it should "dissolve" upon being finished. This extension exists
to be a sandbox for that experimentation.

# usage

Enable topics like any mercurial extension: download the source code to a
local directory, and add that directory to your `.hgrc`:

    [extensions]
    topics=path/to/hg-topics/hgext3rd/topic/
