           Summary: evolve: can not 'hg touch' a merge changeset
          Severity: bug
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Windows
          Reporter: rm at fb.com
          Hardware: PC
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 3.3
         Component: evolution
           Product: Mercurial

When a revision is obsolete, hg touch fails if it's a merge changeset.

This manifests itself rather strangewith with the following sequence of
commands:

  $ hg up --hidden 52daaa6ef2ea
  $ hg touch .
  abort: cannot amend merge changesets


Full merge ability with evolve is a hard problem, but bringing an old merge
back to life with touch sounds like a much simpler sub-problem.
