"unstable" changeset and "instability"

{i} Related documentation

Instability happens when a changesets with descendant is rewritten. The non-obsolete descendant of the now obsolete changeset are said "unstable changesets".

A Changeset is "unstable" because either:

Automatic resolution of instability if node by rebasing the unstable changesets on the latest known successors of its obsolete parent. (Changeset unstable because the parent is unstable needs to wait for their unstable parent to be stabilized before we can solve them.)

"Bumped" changeset and "bumping"

{i} related documentation

A changeset is says "Bumped" when it is the successors of a public changeset. The public changeset cannot be obsoleted or hidden anymore so both the old and new version exists. This usually happens when someone is reworking a changeset while somewhere else is publishing it at the same time elsewhere. The two actions are eventually gathered somewhere and evolve detect there is an issue. To some extend "bumping" can be seens as "divergence with your past" as opposed to "divergence with another rewriting that happened in parallel).

So in summary bumped changesets are:

* superseding something public, * trying to obsolete something that cannot be obsolete, * trying to bring "a change" but is too late to do so,

The automated solution for this is to create a new changeset with the diff between the public and the successors (The diff introduced by the amend).
