+    Pruned changesets are obsolete with no successors. If they also have no

+
+    Non-obsolete descendants of pruned changesets become "unstable". Use :hg:`evolve`
+    to handle this situation.
+
+    When you prune the parent of your working copy, Mercurial updates the working
+    copy to a non-obsolete parent.
+
+    You can use ``--succ`` to tell Mercurial that a newer version (successor) of the
+    pruned changeset exists. Mercurial records successor revisions in obsolescence
+    markers.
+
+    You can use the ``--biject`` option to specify a 1-1 mapping (bijection) between
+    revisions to pruned (precursor) and successor changesets. This option may be
+    removed in a future release (with the functionality provided automatically).
+
+    If you specify multiple revisions in ``--succ``, you are recording a "split" and
+    must acknowledge it by passing ``--split``. Similarly, when you prune multiple
+    changesets with a single successor, you must pass the ``--fold`` option.
