inhibit: fix compat with rebaseskipobsolete
We wrap _computeobsoletenotrebased and _clearrebased to fix the following case:
- Assuming that we have markers from revisions of the rebase set and
destination set and that these markers are inhibited
- At the end of the rebase the nodes are still visible because rebase operate
without inhibition and skip these nodes
Had we not have those markers to begin with the revisions could be hidden at
the end of the rebase.
We keep track in repo._obsoletenotrebased of the obsolete commits skipped by
the rebase and lift the inhibition at the end of the rebase.
We add three test cases to make sure that the edge cases are covered.

Logilab SA <contact@logilab.fr> ----------------------------------------- Good practice for (early) users of evolve ----------------------------------------- Avoid unstability ----------------- The less unstability you have the less you need to resolve. Evolve is not yet able to detect and solve every situation. And your mind is not ready neither. Branch as much as possible -------------------------- This is not MQ; you are not constrained to linear history. Making a branch per independent branch will help you avoid unstability and conflict. Rewrite your changes only ------------------------- There is no descent conflict detection and handling right now. Rewriting other people's changesets guarantees that you will get conflicts. Communicate with your fellow developers before trying to touch other people's work (which is a good pratice in any case). Using multiple branches will help you to achieve this goal. Prefer pushing unstability to touching other people changesets -------------------------------------------------------------- If you have children changesets from other people that you don't really care about, prefer not altering them to risking a conflict by stabilizing them. Do not get too confident ------------------------ This is an experimental extension and a complex concept. This is beautiful, powerful and robust on paper, but the tool and your mind may not be prepared for all situations yet.
