obslog: also display patch for rebased changesets
This applies the same logic that is used for "merge-diff" to rebased
changesets. The successors' content is compared to the content of the
predecessors rebased in-memory on the new parents.
This highlights the changes that were actually introduced while rebasing (like
conflict resolution or API adjustment).
As a side effect, obslog now also outputs slightly more diffs for splits,
showing what parts of the original big changeset were moved to the smaller
split components (but for now it only works for the first few changesets).

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 practice 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.
