pullreport: issue a message about "extinct" pulled changesets
Changeset pulled from a remote repository while already obsolete locally can
end up hidden after the pull. Hiding obsolete changesets is a good behavior
but silently "skipping" some of the pulled content can get confusing.
We now detect this situation and emit a message about it. The message is
simple and the wording could be improved, however, we focus on the detection
here. Evolution is still an experimental feature, so the output is open to
changes.
In particular, we could point out at the latest successors of the obsolete
changesets, however, it can get tricky is there are many of them. So we delay
these improvements to another adventure.
Another easy improvement would be to merge this message with the previous line
about the new nodes and their phases.
This is a good example of cases where we can only transmit a limited amount of
data to users by default. We need some sort of "transaction journal" we could
point the user to.

Command Elements """""""""""""""" files... indicates one or more filename or relative path filenames; see `File Name Patterns`_ for information on pattern matching path indicates a path on the local machine revision indicates a changeset which can be specified as a changeset revision number, a tag, or a unique substring of the changeset hash value repository path either the pathname of a local repository or the URI of a remote repository. .. include:: hg.1.gendoc.txt Files """"" ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc``, ``$HOME/.hgrc``, ``.hg/hgrc`` This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in ``.hg/hgrc`` override those in ``$HOME/.hgrc``, and these override settings made in the global ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` configuration. See |hgrc(5)|_ for details of the contents and format of these files. ``.hgignore`` This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that describe file names that should be ignored by **hg**. For details, see |hgignore(5)|_. ``.hgsub`` This file defines the locations of all subrepositories, and tells where the subrepository checkouts came from. For details, see :hg:`help subrepos`. ``.hgsubstate`` This file is where Mercurial stores all nested repository states. *NB: This file should not be edited manually.* ``.hgtags`` This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one of each separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of the repository contents. The file content is encoded using UTF-8. ``.hg/last-message.txt`` This file is used by :hg:`commit` to store a backup of the commit message in case the commit fails. ``.hg/localtags`` This file can be used to define local tags which are not shared among repositories. The file format is the same as for ``.hgtags``, but it is encoded using the local system encoding. Some commands (e.g. revert) produce backup files ending in ``.orig``, if the ``.orig`` file already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial, it will be overwritten.
