Bug ID: 5603
Summary: Feature request: Prompt/warn when evolve operations
will result in updating away from the current branch
Product: Mercurial
Version: default branch
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: feature
Priority: wish
Component: evolution
Assignee: bugzi...@mercurial-scm.org
Reporter: taktaktaktaktaktaktaktaktak...@gmail.com
CC: mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org,
pierre-yves.da...@ens-lyon.org
As a concrete example, `hg evolve --any` can unexpectedly (if the user's mental
model is incorrect and/or she didn't run with --dry-run first) result in
"Moving [123] 'Changeset a long way away' on top of [456] 'Another distant
changeset'" and start updating the working copy before the user has a chance to
intervene.
This may seem like a trivial issue ("just update back!"), but with a large repo
and/or largefiles involved, there can be a significant loss of time from
reupdating/rebuilding.
