It does seem that the fold command should have auto-evolved this graph. Even without that, the output of “hg evolve” without “—any” is a little weird to a new user (of the evolve extension):

    $ hg evolve
    nothing to evolve here
    (1 troubled changesets, do you want --any ?)
    $ hg up 5
    1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
    $ hg evolve
    move:[4] e
    atop:[5] fold b-d
    merging file

In keeping with the ideal I tout most about Mercurial, this should be user-friendly.
