prune: add strip-like bookmark
This prune changesets pointed by the specified bookmark only (and removes the
bookmarks)
Initial setup
-------------
This Mercurial configuration example is used for testing.
.. Various setup
$ cat >> $HGRCPATH << EOF
> [ui]
> logtemplate ="{node|short} ({phase}): {desc}\n"
> [diff]
> git = 1
> [alias]
> # "-d '0 0'" means that the new commit will be at January 1st 1970.
> # This is used for stable hash during test
> amend = amend -d '0 0'
> EOF
$ hg init local
$ cat >> local/.hg/hgrc << EOF
> [paths]
> remote = ../remote
> other = ../other
> [ui]
> user = Babar the King
> EOF
$ hg init remote
$ cat >> remote/.hg/hgrc << EOF
> [paths]
> local = ../local
> [ui]
> user = Celestine the Queen
> EOF
$ hg init other
$ cat >> other/.hg/hgrc << EOF
> [ui]
> user = Princess Flore
> EOF
This tutorial uses the following configuration for Mercurial:
A compact log template with phase data:
$ hg showconfig ui
ui.slash=True
ui.logtemplate="{node|short} ({phase}): {desc}\n"
Improved git format diff:
$ hg showconfig diff
diff.git=1
And of course, we enable the experimental extensions for mutable history:
$ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<EOF
> [extensions]
> rebase =
> evolve = $TESTDIR/../hgext/evolve.py
> EOF
-----------------------
Single Developer Usage
-----------------------
This tutorial shows how to use evolution to rewrite history locally.
Fixing mistake with `hg amend`

We are versionning a shopping list

not fit well in my standard shopping list)

.. note: We can't amend changeset 7e82d3f3c2cb or 9ca060c80d74 as they are immutable.
I now want to push to remote all my changes except the bathroom one, which I'm not
totally happy with yet. To be able to push "SPAM SPAM" I need a version of "SPAM SPAM" which is not a child of
"bathroom stuff"
You can use 'rebase -r' or 'grab' for that:
$ hg up 'p1(10b8aeaa8cc8)' # going on "bathroom stuff" parent
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg rebase --rev fac207dec9f5 --dest . # moving "SPAM SPAM" to the working directory parent

Splitting change
------------------
histedit or uncommit
Collapsing change
------------------
This can be done with hg fold but the tutorial part is not written yet.
-----------------------
Collaboration
-----------------------
sharing mutable changeset
----------------------------
To share mutable changeset with others, just check that the repo you interact
with is "not publishing". Otherwise you will get the previously observe
behavior where exchanged changeset are automatically published.
$ cd ../remote
$ hg -R ../local/ showconfig phases
the localrepo does not have any specific configuration for `phases.publish`. It
is ``true`` by default.
$ hg pull local
pulling from $TESTTMP/local

Rebasing unstable change after pull
----------------------------------------------
Remotely someone add a new changeset on top of the mutable "bathroom" on.
$ hg up 75954b8cd933 -q
$ cat >> shopping << EOF
> Giraffe
> Rhino
> Lion
> Bear
> EOF
$ hg ci -m 'animals'
But at the same time, locally, this same "bathroom changeset" was updated.
$ cd ../local
$ hg up 75954b8cd933 -q
$ sed -i'' -e 's/... More bathroom stuff to come/Bath Robe/' shopping

The older version 75954b8cd933 never ceased to exist in the local repo. It was
just hidden and excluded from pull and push.
.. note:: In hgview there is a nice dotted relation highlighting a44c85f957d3 as a new version of 75954b8cd933. this is not yet ported to ``hg log -G``.
There is now an **unstable** changeset in this history. Mercurial will refuse to
share it with the outside:
$ hg push other
pushing to $TESTTMP/other
searching for changes
abort: push includes unstable changeset: bf1b0d202029!
(use 'hg evolve' to get a stable history or --force to ignore warnings)
[255]
To resolve this unstable state, you need to rebase bf1b0d202029 onto
a44c85f957d3. The "hg evolve" command will do this for you.
It has a --dry-run option to only suggest the next move.
$ hg evolve --dry-run
move:[15] animals
atop:[14] bathroom stuff
hg rebase -r bf1b0d202029 -d a44c85f957d3
Let's do it
$ hg evolve
move:[15] animals
atop:[14] bathroom stuff

The old version of bathroom is hidden again.

working directory now at a44c85f957d3

Handling Conflicting amend
----------------------------------------------
We can detect that multiple diverging/conflicting amendments have been made. There
will be a "evol-merge" command to merge conflicting amendments.
This section needs to be written.
