obsolete: introduce an extension helper and use it this extension helper allow most of setup operation to be declared in place using decorator. This allow clear separation between independant part of the code. This is the first HUGE wave of changes related to this introduction. The goal is to have a clear distinction and documention of every part of this extension.

=============================
Mutable History For Mercurial
=============================

:obsolete:

    Introduce an ``obsolete`` concept that tracks new versions of rewritten
    changesets.

:evolve:

    A collection of commands to rewrite the mutable part of the history.



**These extensions are experimental and are not meant for production.**

You can quicky enable them using::

    ./enable.sh >> ~/.hgrc

But it's recommended to look at the doc in the first place.

See doc/ directory for details.

Online version of the doc is available:

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

Contribute
==================

The simplest way to contribute is to issue a pull request on bitbucket.

However, some cutting edge change may be found in a mutable repository hosted
by logilab before they are published.

    http://hg-lab.logilab.org/wip/mutable-history/

Make sure to check lastest draft changeset before submitting new changeset.
