editing an older version of a page keeps you at that version of the page

[Aaron Swartz]

1. Visit a page like: /foo?m=edit&v=16
2. Change something.
3. Hit save.

Result: You're redirected to /foo?v=16 and the page appears to have not changed.

Expected result: You're redirected to /foo

I think changequery should clear the existing query when an optional
argument clear=True.

def changequery(_clear=False, **kw): ...

or

def changequery(query=None, **kw):
     if query is None: query = web.input(_method='GET')
     ....

changequery({}, m=None)
