Might it not make more sense for fossil to close the leaf when merging? If
it waits until commit then it has to remember and arbitrary number of
leaves for arbitrarily long (timespan between merge and commit) and then
close them all as part of the commit. The number of potential error cases
during the commit then explodes.

Closing at merging is also not ideal because it often happens that a merge
gets tossed out in the process of trying to fix conflicts (very often i
have non-trivial merge conflicts i end up tossing out the merge and
starting over from a different angle).
