=============================

Mutable History For Mercurial

=============================

This package supplies the ``evolve`` extension for Mercurial, which

provides several commands to mutate history and deal with the

resulting issues.

It also:

    - enables the "changeset obsolescence" feature of Mercurial

    - issues several warning messages when trouble appears in your repository

**This extension is experimental and not yet meant for production.**

You can enable it by adding the line below to the ``extensions``

section of your hgrc::

    evolve = PATH/TO/mutable-history/hgext/evolve.py

We recommend reading the documentation first. An online version is

available here:

    http://hg-lab.logilab.org/doc/mutable-history/html/

Or see the ``doc/`` directory for a local copy.

Contribute

==========

The simplest way to contribute is to issue a pull request on Bitbucket

(https://bitbucket.org/marmoute/mutable-history). Alternatively, you

can use the patchbomb extension to send email to mercurial

devel. Please make sure to use the evolve-ext flag when doing so. You

can use a command like this:

    hg email --to mercurial-devel@selenic.com --flag evolve-ext --rev '<your patches>'

See also

http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ContributingChanges#Patch_descriptions

for guidelines on the patch description.

Please don't forget to update and run the tests when you fix a bug or

add a feature. To run the tests:

    cd tests

    python run-tests.py --with-hg=/path/to/hg

However, some cutting-edge changes may be found in a mutable repository hosted

by logilab before they are published.

Be sure to check latest draft changeset before submitting new changesets.
