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.

The censor system allows retroactively removing content from
files. Actually censoring a node requires using the censor extension,
but the functionality for handling censored nodes is partially in core.
Censored nodes in a filelog have the flag ``REVIDX_ISCENSORED`` set,
and the contents of the censored node are replaced with a censor
tombstone. For historical reasons, the tombstone is packed in the
filelog metadata field ``censored``. This allows censored nodes to be
(mostly) safely transmitted through old formats like changegroup
versions 1 and 2. When using changegroup formats older than 3, the
receiver is required to re-add the ``REVIDX_ISCENSORED`` flag when
storing the revision. This depends on the ``censored`` metadata key
never being used for anything other than censoring revisions, which is
true as of January 2017. Note that the revlog flag is the
authoritative marker of a censored node: the tombstone should only be
consulted when looking for a reason a node was censored or when revlog
flags are unavailable as mentioned above.
The tombstone data is a free-form string. It's expected that users of
censor will want to record the reason for censoring a node in the
tombstone. Censored nodes must be able to fit in the size of the
content being censored.
