exchange: use fixed order for obstore content

The obsstore content seems unstable from one version of python to another (we
most certainly use some dict) we fix the order once and for all.

=============================
Mutable History For Mercurial
=============================

This package supplies the ``evolve`` extension for Mercurial, which
provides several commands to mutate history and deal with the
resulting issues.

It also:

    - enables the "changeset obsolescence" feature of Mercurial
    - issues several warning messages when trouble appears in your repository

**This extension is experimental and not yet meant for production.**

You can enable it by adding the line below to the ``extensions``
section of your hgrc::

    evolve = PATH/TO/mutable-history/hgext/evolve.py

We recommend reading the documentation first. An online version is
available here:

    http://hg-lab.logilab.org/doc/mutable-history/html/

Or see the ``doc/`` directory for a local copy.

Contribute
==========

The simplest way to contribute is to issue a pull request on Bitbucket
(https://bitbucket.org/marmoute/mutable-history).

However, some cutting-edge changes may be found in a mutable repository hosted
by logilab before they are published.

    http://hg-lab.logilab.org/wip/mutable-history/

Be sure to check latest draft changeset before submitting new changesets.
