This is the correct approach. Propagating into empty branches would lead
to lots of typo-branches (net.vnege.monotone.foo and the like), but
adding --force to propagate might work, too.

As for empty changes, I'm not sure if they are a good idea (and the UI
prevents them, as you noticed). With enough sophistication, you could
easily add them, if you really need them (put_revision - it happily
accepts empty changesets, though that should probably be prevented)
