Status update on Obsolete Markers (Changeset Evolution)

[Pierre-Yves David]

Here is a quick status update about the concept I presented last year at the 1.9
sprint. I expect changeset evolution to be an hot topic during the 2.3 sprint.

Bellow is link to various documentation regarding the concept and experimental
implementation:

    http://hg-lab.logilab.org/doc/mutable-history/html/ (some schema are missing or outdated)

I've made working and usable proof of concept implementation for both obsolete
marker and changeset evolution (both rewritting UI and automatic instability
solving)

Several people are using it at Logilab (including some of our client) and they
are very happy about it.

My main focus is now to get obsolete markers into core. I hope to can get
enough question answered during the sprint to start implementation soon.

Most relevant readings for this milestone are:

    Instability principle:

    Obsolete markers Concepts:

    Various note about implementation:
        http://hg-lab.logilab.org/doc/mutable-history/html/obs-implementation.html

Report will be posted for people not at the sprint.
