commands: introduce a new command to edit commit metadata
This patch introduces metaedit, a command to metadata of a set of revisions
without updating the working copy. This is particularly relevant for
repositories where changing the parent of the working copy is time-consuming.
We could add more stack manipulation operations to metaedit in the future.

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.**
