corruption: backout changeset 49fd21f32695 (issue6528) inverting the parent is masking copy information leading to bad content being fetched and bad status result. Since 49fd21f32695, exchange can actively swap these parent corrupting existing changesets and triggering the corruption. Data corruption are considered critical so backing this out and doing and unscheduled release seems in order. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10995

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
