metaedit: add support for folding commits while editing their metadata
This also allows us to accept multiple commits without dealing with the thorny
algorithmic and UI issues of editing multiple commits at once.
Crucially, it is different from 'hg fold --exact' in that it also allows
'folding' a single commit and rewriting its metadata. This is really useful to
have as a single logical operation, for example while preparing a series of
multiple local changesets that will need to be pushed as a single changeset.

Description: evolve extension for Mercurial
This package provides the experimental "evolve" extension for the Mercurial
DVCS.
.
This extension provides several commands to mutate history and deal with issues
it may raise.
.
It also:
- enables the "Changeset Obsolescence" feature of mercurial,
- alters core command and extension that rewrite history to use this feature,
- improves some aspects of the early implementation in Mercurial 2.3.
.
**These extensions are experimental and are not meant for production.**
