+Description: evolve extension for Mercurial
+ This package provides the experimental "evolve" extension for the Mercurial
+ DVCS.
+ .
+ This extension provides several commands to mutate history and deal with issues
+ it may raise.
+ .
+ It also:
+ - enables the "Changeset Obsolescence" feature of mercurial,
+ - alters core command and extension that rewrite history to use this feature,
+ - improves some aspects of the early implementation in Mercurial 2.3.
+ .
+ **These extensions are experimental and are not meant for production.**
