     1 -----------------------------------------
       
     2 Good pratice for (early) user of evolve
       
     3 -----------------------------------------
       
     4 
       
     5 Avoid instability
       
     6 --------------------------------
       
     7 
       
     8 The less instability you have the less you need to resolve.
       
     9 
       
    10 Evolve is not yet able to detect and solve every situation. And your mind is
       
    11 not ready neither.
       
    12 
       
    13 Branch as much as possible
       
    14 --------------------------------
       
    15 
       
    16 This is not MQ you are not constrainted to linear history.
       
    17 
       
    18 Making a branch per independent branch will help you avoiding instability and conflict.
       
    19 
       
    20 Rewrite you change only
       
    21 ------------------------------------------------
       
    22 
       
    23 There is no descent conflict detection and handling right now. rewriting other
       
    24 people changeset garantee that you will get conflict. Communicate with you
       
    25 fellow developer before trying to touch other people part. (which is a good
       
    26 pratice in any case)
       
    27 
       
    28 Using multiple branch will help you to achieve this goal.
       
    29 
       
    30 Prefer pushing unstability than touching other people changeset
       
    31 ------------------------------------------------------------------
       
    32 
       
    33 
       
    34 If you have children changeset from other people that you don't really care
       
    35 about, prefer not altering them that risking a conflict by stabilizing them.
       
    36 
       
    37 
       
    38 Do not get too confident

    41 This is an experimental extension and a complexe concept. This is beautiful,
       
    42 powerful and robust on paper. But the tool and your mind may not be prepared to
       
    43 all situation yet.
