improve alwayscommit=false mode

Now changes are staged into the branch's index, but not committed,
which avoids growing a large journal. And sync and merge always
explicitly commit, ensuring that even when they do nothing else,
they commit the staged changes.

Added a flag file to indicate that the branch's journal contains
uncommitted changes. (Could use git ls-files, but don't want to run
that every time.)

In the future, this ability to have uncommitted changes staged in the
journal might be used on remotes after a series of oneshot commands.
