debugobsconvert: make sure obsstore is loaded before version comparison
hg 44918682093f delays loading obsstore, so we have to access _all to get
the correct store version.
Initial setup
-------------
This Mercurial configuration example is used for testing.
.. Various setup
$ cat >> $HGRCPATH << EOF
> [ui]
> # This is change the default output of log for clear tutorial
> logtemplate ="{node|short} ({phase}): {desc}\n"
> [diff]
> # use "git" diff format, clearer and smarter format
> 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
> # (this tutorial is automatically tested.)
> 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

> [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 | grep log
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]
> evolve = $TESTDIR/../hgext/evolve.py
> # enabling rebase is also needed for now
> rebase =
> EOF
-----------------------
Single Developer Usage
-----------------------
This tutorial shows how to use evolution to rewrite history locally.
Fixing mistake with `hg amend`

.. 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 the 'grab' alias for that.
.. note: grab is an alias for `hg rebase --dest . --rev <target>; hg up <there>`

Splitting change
------------------
This part is not written yet, but you can use either the `histedit` extension
of the `uncommit` command to splitting a change.
$ hg help uncommit
hg uncommit [OPTION]... [NAME]
move changes from parent revision to working directory
Changes to selected files in the checked out revision appear again as
uncommitted changed in the working directory. A new revision without the
selected changes is created, becomes the checked out revision, and
obsoletes the previous one.
The --include option specifies patterns to uncommit. The --exclude option
specifies patterns to keep in the commit.
The --rev argument let you change the commit file to a content of another
revision. It still does not change the content of your file in the working
directory.
Return 0 if changed files are uncommitted.
options ([+] can be repeated):
-a --all uncommit all changes when no arguments given
-r --rev VALUE revert commit content to REV instead
-I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns
-X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns
(some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)
The edit command of histedit can be used to split changeset:
Collapsing change
------------------
The tutorial part is not written yet but can use `hg fold`:
$ hg help fold
hg fold [OPTION]... [-r] REV
aliases: squash
fold multiple revisions into a single one
By default, folds all the revisions linearly between the given revisions
and the parent of the working directory.
Use --exact for folding only the specified revisions while ignoring the
parent of the working directory. In this case, the given revisions must
form a linear unbroken chain.
options ([+] can be repeated):
-r --rev VALUE [+] revision to fold
--exact only fold specified revisions
-m --message TEXT use text as commit message
-l --logfile FILE read commit message from file
-d --date DATE record the specified date as commit date
-u --user USER record the specified user as committer
(some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)

Collaboration
-----------------------
sharing mutable changesets
----------------------------
To share mutable changesets 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
[1]
the localrepo does not have any specific configuration for `phases.publish`. It
is ``true`` by default.
$ hg pull local
pulling from $TESTTMP/local (glob)

adding manifests
adding file changes
added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files
1 new obsolescence markers

We do not want to publish the "bathroom changeset". Let's rollback the last transaction.
.. Warning: Rollback is actually a dangerous kind of internal command that is deprecated and should not be exposed to user. Please forget you read about it until someone fix this tutorial.

But at the same time, locally, this same "bathroom changeset" was updated.

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 (glob)
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

Handling Divergent amend
----------------------------------------------
We can detect that multiple diverging amendments have been made.
The `evolve` command can solve this situation. But all corner case are not
handled now.
This section needs to be written.
