+General concept
+===============
+
+This extension introduces the *obsolete* concept. It adds a new *obsolete*
+relation between two changesets. A relation ``<changeset B> obsolete <changeset
+A>`` is set to denote that ``<changeset B>`` is new version of ``<changeset
+A>``.
+
+The *obsolete* relation act as a **perpendicular history** to the standard
+changeset history. Standard changeset history versions files. The *obsolete*
+relation versions changesets.
+
+:obsolete:     a changeset that have been replace by another one.
+:out of sync:  a non-obsolet changeset based on another one.
+:suspended:    an obsolete changeset with out of sync descendant.
+
+
+
