evolve: lock the working copy early in next and prev (issue5244) Both next and prev depend on a consistent working copy, but were waiting to take the lock until they were ready to alter the working copy. Take the lock before reading the working copy state, and do not release it until we're definitely not going to change the working copy.

evolve: indent cmdnext and cmdprev ready for locking change (issue5244) The locking change I'm about to introduce forces an indentation shift. Do the indentation change with no code change now, to make the next change easier to review

tests: adapt to some change to topic output

split: avoid trying to split an empty commit (issue5191)
