+Changing history
+================
+
+The good and bad of history rewriting
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Why change history?
+-------------------
+
+You may be wondering: "Why would I change the history in my repository? Isn't that dangerous?
+What if I lose information?"
+
+There are in fact a number of cases for which rewriting history is very useful.
+Many developers don't pay too much attention to structuring their changes
+while implementing a new feature or fixing a bug.
+This makes sense: the main focus is the feature or bug, not focusing on getting
+the history looking just right.
+Once the feature is complete, a short focused effort is enough to clean up the history.
+This way, developers can make sure every changeset builds or passes all tests,
+making bisecting or annotating much easier.
+
+Without such a cleanup, a bugfix might end up looking as follows:
+
+.. dag::
+
+       n   p
+      /   /
+   a-b-c-d
+    \   \
+     m   o
+
+   {node: m, text: fixed(?) a bug, class: nodenote}
+   {node: n, text: add some debuginfo, class: nodenote}
+   {node: o, text: saving progress, class: nodenote}
+   {node: p, text: bug finally fixed!, class: nodenote}
+
+History editing allows you to combine changesets, split them, move them around
+or delete them from your history.
+It's extremely powerful and useful, but it can also be dangerous...
+
+Why avoid changing history?
+---------------------------
+
+You might be thinking: "Well, that sounds amazing! I'll use that all the time!"
+That's perfectly okay, but history editing isn't without its downsides.
+
+First of all, changing or removing changesets might result in messed up changesets.
+You might make a mistake that results in a bad changeset.
+Luckily, Mercurial makes a backup of every changeset that you change or remove.
+These are stored in a backup bundle in ".hg/strip-backup/".
+Every time you change history, Mercurial tells you the exact location of the backup.
+
+Secondly, changing history is problematic when you do so for changesets
+that you've published already.
+Suppose you change a number of changesets as follows:
+
+.. dag::
+
+   a-b-c
+
+   || <action that changes history>
+
+   a-p
+    \
+     b'-c'
+
+   {node: p, class: poof, text: poof!}
+
+The above actions get rid of changesets b and c and replace them with b' and c'.
+However, what if you've already shared the original changesets with other people?
+
+.. dag::
+
+   a-b-c
+
+   || <take in new changes from your repository>
+
+   a-b-c
+    \
+     b'-c'
+
+They will see both the old changesets and the new ones!
+Changing history that you've already shared is considered a bad idea
+because of the above issue.
+Every single person who has pulled from your repository,
+will have to clean up this mess!
+
+To avoid this problem, Mercurial remembers which changesets have already been shared
+with others and refuses editing history for those changes.
+
+Adapting the last changeset
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The easiest and probably one of the most important history editing commands is
+``hg commit --amend``.
+This command doesn't create a completely new changeset. Instead, it takes
+any new changes in your working directory and combines them with the parent
+of the working directory.
+
+Let's take an example to clarify this. We start out with a repository that has two changesets,
+a and b:
+
+.. include:: examples/results/amend.log-before.lxo
+
+As we can see, each changeset changes a different file.
+What if we made an additional change to our working directory, but we'd like to add it
+to our most recent changeset, rather than add a new one? Well, that's no problem...
+We can use ``hg commit --amend``:
+
+.. include:: examples/results/amend.amend.lxo
+
+There are a few interesting things to see here.
+First of all: it turns out it *is* possible to change history!
+We've added a new file to our existing changeset.
+Secondly, as mentioned before, changing history is safe in Mercurial.
+A backup bundle is generated when amending and the location of that bundle is shown.
+
+There's actually a small lie above. I mentioned we can add a file to our existing changeset.
+That's not quite correct: we replaced our original changeset by a new changeset that contains additional changes.
+This might seem like a small difference, but it has important consequences: the revision hash will be different:
+
+.. include:: examples/results/amend.log-after.lxo
+
+We can also show this in a more graphical overview: we start with changesets **a** and **b**,
+but end up with **a** and **b'**:
+
+.. dag::
+
+   a-b
+
+   || hg commit --amend
+
+   a-p
+    \
+     b'
+
+   {node: p, class: poof, text: poof!}
+
+Amending is only possible for changesets that are heads (in other words: they don't have children).
+Other history-editing actions allow much more invasive effects, as we'll see...
+
+Move changesets around in history using rebase
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Imagine the following problem: you're working on a project with several people
+and you'd like to keep the history of your project simple and linear.
+You'd also like to commit and push regularly.
+Other people make and push changes, causing the following situation:
+
+.. dag::
+
+         m
+        /
+   a-b-c
+    \
+     d-e
+        \
+         n
+
+   {node: m, text: change by other user, class: nodenote}
+   {node: n, text: changes by yourself, class: nodenote}
+
+Normally, you'd resolve such a situation by merging your changeset **d**
+with the other users changeset **c** as follows:
+
+.. dag::
+
+   a-b-c
+    \   \
+     d-e-f
+
+   {node: f, text: merge}
+
+One downside to the above way of working is that it makes your history non-linear and complex.
+Additionally, it makes commands like ``hg bisect`` more difficult to use.
+The concept of *rebasing* provides an alternative.
+
+Rebasing allows you to take a bunch of changesets and move them to another part of your history.
+In the above situation, that would result in cleaner history than using a merge:
+
+.. dag::
+
+         m
+        /
+   a-b-c-d'-e'
+             \
+              n
+
+   {node: m, text: change by other user, class: nodenote}
+   {node: n, text: changes by yourself, class: nodenote}
+
+Similar to using ``hg commit --amend``, we also see here that
+we end up with new changesets **d'** and **e'**.
+
+.. Note::
+
+   We're rebasing our changeset on top of the changes the other user made.
+   It's not possible to work the other way around, or we'd be changing public history!
+
+Of course, this looks easy using a graphic representation, but how simple is it to do such a rebase?
+We'll enable the rebase extension and we can get started:
+
+::
+
+    [extensions]
+    rebase =
+
+.. Note::
+
+   Mercurial provides rebase using an extension because it allows changing history.
+   Requiring users to explicitly enable the extension ensures that new users don't shoot themselves
+   in the foot using this powerful feature.
+
+The rebase command always needs a changeset (or multiple) to rebase
+and a destination to which the rebasing happens.
+
+You can specify a destination changeset using **--dest**.
+Specifying changesets to rebase can be done in several ways,
+which we can clarify with a few examples.
+
+The first way to specify changesets to rebase is explicitly, using **--rev**.
+This way, the exact changesets you mention are rebased:
+
+.. include:: examples/results/rebase.rebase-rev.lxo
+
+A second way to specify changesets is to to mention the root, using **--source**.
+The specified changeset and all of its descendants will be rebased:
+
+.. include:: examples/results/rebase.rebase-source.lxo
+
+You can also specify a changeset with **--base**.
+All of its descendants and ancestors
+(except those which are also ancestors of the destination)
+will be rebased:
+
+.. include:: examples/results/rebase.rebase-base.lxo
+
+Finally, it's possible to execute the ``hg rebase`` command without any parameters,
+in which case a rebase equivalent to the following is executed::
+
+  $ hg rebase --base . --dest "max(branch(.))"
+
+In other words, we would rebase the current changeset, along with its ancestors
+and descendants.
+This rebase would be done to the last changeset of the current branch:
+
+.. include:: examples/results/rebase.rebase-noparams-otherhead.lxo
+
+The above makes a lot of sense if you make changes, pull from another repository
+and then rebase your changes.
+
+However, it can also behave quite non-intuitive in other cases.
+Suppose you pull from another repository, *then* make changes
+and try to rebase those changes:
+
+.. include:: examples/results/rebase.rebase-noparams.lxo
+
+To ensure obvious behaviour, it's better to explicitly specify what to rebase
+and to which destination.
+
+.. Note::
+
+   The behaviour of rebase without arguments is likely to change in the future,
+   to ensure a more consistent behaviour.
+   There is already `a plan to improve this behaviour <https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/DefaultDestinationPlan#Default_Rebase_Destination>`__.
+
+To summarize: ``hg rebase`` allows you to simplify your history by making it more
+linear. That's not the only way to improve history, you can do quite a bit more...
+
+Edit a group of changesets using histedit
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+What can we do so far?
+We can change changesets that are heads in our repository by using ``hg commit --amend``.
+We can move a group of changesets to a different location in our repository thanks to ``hg rebase``.
+
+Do we need more? One use case we haven't covered yet, is cleaning up a series of changesets.
+We might want to remove some changes that shouldn't be pushed, or combine changesets into one
+that combines related changes.
+Luckily, there's just the command for that: ``hg histedit``.
+
+Just like the rebase command, we can enable histedit through an extension::
+
+    [extensions]
+    histedit =
+
+Suppose we've implemented a new feature. It took quite a few iterations,
+and Mercurial gave us safety by allowing us to commit regularly. Our history now looks as follows:
+
+.. dag::
+
+       n   p
+      /   /
+   a-b-c-d-e
+    \   \   \
+     m   o   q
+
+   {node: m, text: Apple Slicer basics, class: nodenote}
+   {node: n, text: Banana Split bugfix, class: nodenote}
+   {node: o, text: more Apple Slicer work, class: nodenote}
+   {node: p, text: Apple Slicer debug info, class: nodenote}
+   {node: q, text: Apple Slicer done, class: nodenote}
+
+Even though we've implemented a single new feature (creating a brand-new Apple Slicer),
+we ended up with quite a few changesets.
+There's even a bugfix for a different feature inbetween!
+
+Suppose we want to do some more testing on the Apple Slicer (just to make sure
+it doesn't accidentally slice off our fingers), but the Banana Split bugfix
+urgently needs to get out the door. What now? How do we handle this situation?
+
+We can simply execute the command ``hg histedit`` and our favourite editor
+will open up with the histedit interface:
+
+.. include:: examples/results/histedit.histedit-cat.lxo
+
+In our editor, we first see an overview of changesets, with the word *pick* at the start of the line.
+This word is actually the default *action* histedit takes for every changeset.
+It means that we don't do anything specific with this changeset, we just keep it.
+
+Let's make a change to our history while using nothing else but the *pick* action!
+One thing that's possible is to simply reorder changesets in the histedit interface.
+This will reorder them in the repository history as well.
+
+Since the build for this book requires passing parameters to Mercurial commands
+without interaction, we will specify the changesets using a file
+and the *--commands* parameter.
+Don't do this yourself, it's much more enjoyable to just call ``hg histedit``.
+
+We'll simply swap a few lines, so we can already push our Banana Split bugfix
+without taking the other changes along.
+
+.. include:: examples/results/histedit.histedit-reorder-commands.lxo
+
+.. include:: examples/results/histedit.histedit-reorder.lxo
+
+.. include:: examples/results/histedit.histedit-push-banana.lxo
+
+Great! We've moved the urgent bugfix to a different point in our history,
+which allowed us to push it without having to push parts of a new feature at the same time.
+
+So, what else can we do using histedit?
+
+Let's see what needs to be done:
+
+- We need to remove the extra debug info added while developing our new feature.
+  It was useful during development, but it's no longer needed now.
+- Our 'Apple Slicer done' changeset actually still contains a bug,
+  causing it to output sliced pears when there's a full moon.
+  We should edit that changeset to fix the issue before pushing our feature.
+- There's not really a need to have changesets with parts of our feature,
+  as it's just a dump of 'changes done so far'.
+  Let's combine all our changes into one changeset.
+
+By default, when executing ``hg histedit``, all of the changesets
+are prefixed with the word *pick*. This means: take this changeset along,
+don't change anything about it.
+
+There's a whole list of other actions available during histedit operations:
+
+- *drop*: Remove the changeset from your history.
+- *mess*: Change the commit message.
+- *fold*: Combine this changeset with the previous one
+  and show an editor to allow entering a new commit message.
+- *roll*: Like *fold*, but remove the commit message of this changeset.
+- *edit*: Allow editing the files in this changeset.
+
+We now know what to do, let's give it a try!
+We'll take the following actions in our histedit operation:
+
+.. include:: examples/results/histedit.histedit-change-commands.lxo
+
+In other words, we'll fold all our changes together, except for the debugging info (we'll get rid of that).
+
+Your editor will pop up and allow you to change the commit messages while running histedit.
+That's not really an option in this book, so we'll just show you the overview of everything that happens
+while running the command:
+
+.. include:: examples/results/histedit.histedit-change.lxo
+
+We can see several editor texts popping up above, progressively combinging commit messages.
+In the end, we only have a single Apple Slicer changeset left:
+
+.. include:: examples/results/histedit.histedit-log-combined.lxo
+
+You may have noticed that, unlike with rebase, we never specified a set of revisions to modify.
+By default, histedit will edit the ancestors of the current changeset that have not been shared with anyone yet.
+
+You can override this in two ways:
+
+- By specifying a revision explicitly::
+
+  $ hg histedit -r ANCESTORREVISION
+
+- By using the parameter *--outgoing*. This parameter allows you to select the first changeset not yet included in
+  the destination repository::
+
+  $ hg histedit --outgoing
+
+Just like with rebase and amend, Mercurial will not allow you to change public changesets using ``hg histedit``.
+
+Safely changing history
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+How exactly does Mercurial manage to keep you from getting in trouble while changing history?
+
+Mercurial actually keeps track of something called *phases*.
+Every time you push changesets to another repository, Mercurial analyses the phases
+for those changesets and adapts them if necessary.
+
+There are three phases, each resulting in different behaviour:
+
+- *secret*: This phase indicates that a changeset should not be shared with others.
+  If someone else pulls from your repository, or you push to another repository,
+  these changesets will not be pushed along.
+- *draft*: This is the default phase for any new changeset you create.
+  It indicates that the changeset has not yet been pushed to another repository.
+  Pushing this changeset to another repository will change its phase to *public*.
+- *public*: This phase indicates that a changeset was already shared with others.
+  This means changing history should not be allowed if it includes this changeset.
+
+Mercurial uses this information to determine which changesets are allowed to be changed.
+It also determines how to select changes to *rebase* or *histedit* automatically.
+For example: using histedit without any arguments will only show draft and secret changesets
+for you to change.
+
+Overriding default behaviour
+----------------------------
+
+There are two ways to explicitly change the behaviour of phases, either in a repository,
+or when communicating with another repository.
+
+In a repository, it's possible to explicitly change the phase of certain changesets
+using the appropriate ``hg phase`` command. You can, for example, change
+the phase from draft to public:
+
+.. include:: examples/results/phase.draft-to-public.lxo
+
+As you can see, you can also use the ``hg phase`` command to view phases,
+rather than change them.
+
+*Secret* is considered the *highest phase*, followed by draft and finally public.
+Moving phases from a higher phase to a lower phase is allowed by default,
+moving phases from a lower to a higher phase is not.
+Think of it like water: it moves down the mountain, not up the mountain.
+
+Of course, it's possible to take a bottle of water up the mountain, but that's more difficult.
+Similarly, you can also force a phase change in the other direction:
+
+.. include:: examples/results/phase.public-to-draft.lxo
+
+In normal circumstance, you should *never* change phases yourself.
+They will automatically change when you push to other repositories.
+
+Of course, you may have a situation where you have several repositories
+you want to push to, without having finished your changesets.
+There are several use cases that can result in this situation, just a few are:
+
+- Pushing your changes to another repository of your own,
+  for example for backup purposes or to be able to test your changes
+  on a different machine.
+- Pushing your changes to a *staging server*, where they are validated
+  and only become public if the validation was successful.
+
+Luckily, it's possible to handle this situation in Mercurial.
+By default, all Mercurial repositories are *publishing*. This means,
+as soon as you push to them, all the changesets that you push will
+become public.
+
+You can configure the target repository so pushing to it will not
+change draft changesets to public::
+
+  [phases]
+  publish = False
+
+Conclusion
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There are several ways to change history in Mercurial,
+each with its own use case, benefits and downsides.
+
+Mercurial additionally supports you by preventing you from
+changing history that you've already shared with others.
+
+As a result, history editing in Mercurial is safe yet powerful.
