    A successors set of changeset A is a consistent group of revisions that
    succeed A. It contains non-obsolete changesets only.

    In most cases a changeset A has a single successors set containing a single
    successors (changeset A replaced by A').

    A changeset that is made obsolete with no successors are called "pruned".
    Such changesets have no successors sets at all.

    A changeset that has been "split" will have a successors set containing
    more than one successors.

    A changeset that has been rewritten in multiple different ways is called
    "divergent". Such changesets have multiple successor sets (each of which
    may also be split, i.e. have multiple successors).
