First, incomplete, but promising stab at converting pbranch scenarios to "changeset evolution"

"Changeset evolution" is Pierre-Yves David's (marmoute on IRC) take on
how we might finally be able to unify mq and pbranch, and get a sane
environment for evolving changesets over time (for instance, in a
review-feedback cycle, or just while polishing them ourselves). I
promised at the last sprint to write it up. My approach is to take the
extensive pbranch tutorial and convert it to one for evolution. Here's
the first step in this direction:

I believe it shows a lot of promise, and I equally believe converting
more of my tutorials will uncover further need for thought. I shall be
picking this up again after my 5 week vacation, unless someone beats
me to it.

The repo with the tutorial source is here:

  https://bitbucket.org/parren/hg-evolution-tutorial

Feel free to convert this to any other suitable format (hg .t files
come to mind, or Brodie's version of it) to continue.
