discovery: port _postprocessobsolete() changes from evolve, add tests Let's make this function obsolescence-aware as well. Now we check that revisions are not obsolete first, and only then check that they are going to be common after exchange. The tests make sure that rewriting changesets doesn't confuse head computation. They rely on experimental.single-head-per-branch feature to show that remote correctly sees the expected result (i.e. either aborts the push or allows it to succeed). They are ported from evolve as well. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12098

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
