For my part, I'm not a native speaker and "trouble" works fine for me, exchanging mutable changeset can lead to some "unavoidable/intrinsic troubles".

I'm also not keen on 'troubles'. For this purpose, I'd suggest 'evolution:' by analogy to 'bisect:'. That won't work for referring to the combined set of {divergences, bumps, ...}, but for labelling "this changeset's evolution status" I think it works.
