Upon pull or unbundle, we display a message with the range of new revisions
fetched. This revision range could readily be used after a pull to look out
what's new with 'hg log'. The algorithm takes care of filtering "obsolete"
revisions that might be present in transaction's "changes" but should not be
displayed to the end user.
Mercurial checks for the introduction of new heads on push. Evolution comes
into play to detect if existing branches on the server are being replaced by
some of the new one we push.
The current code for this logic is very basic (eg: issue4354) and was poorly
tested. We have a better implementation coming in the evolve extension fixing
these issues and with more serious tests coverage. In the process of upstreaming
this improved logic, we start with adding the test case that are already passing
with the current implementation. Once they are all in, we'll upstream the better
implementation and the extra test cases.
See inline documentation for details about the test case added in this
changeset.
