rebase: ensure rebase does not revive extinct revision Here, we exclude hidden changesets from a rebase operation. If we don't, a rewritten version of the hidden changesets will be created by rebase. Those rewritten versions won't be hidden and will likely conflict with other rewriting or revive pruned changeset. Moreover, rewriting hidden revisions will surprise the user. This change would not be necessary if changelog filtering were already in core. But it's fairly cheap and helps to increase the test-suite for such filtering. Once changelog level filtering is added, hidden changes will be automatically excluded or included according to the global --hidden flags. Plain ignoring them is good enough for now.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
