There is not much documentation of what this really do or daily usage of 
this. Some test coverage would be very nice.

The biggest feature in this area must be for hiding hidden/obsoleted 
changesets. I don't know if we already do that or if that is on the wish 
list?

Has this been tested with the lowest supported Mercurial version - that 
it doesn't break and that it actually works as expected with evolve'd repos?

That would just be the lightweight alternative to evolve, right? The 
bigger need in this area is the server side of evolve itself.
