I think good behavior is to obsolete the absorbed changeset in favour of either it's parent or one of the revs in which it was absorbed.
  
  I made a related comment on the parent patch before I realized that this patch adds obsmarker handling. My suggestion there was to mark all the commits that got absorbed into as successors, and if there's anything left in the absorbed commit, that would be yet another successor. Would that work?
