Thanks to you and Patrick (and unnamed others, I'm sure) for answering
and providing the patches.

Ok, will do. I have a lot of feedback for documentation, mostly, and
some for code but I'm still new to the codebase and it's a little much
for me right now. I will try to at least provide some tracebacks.

First of all, using evolve is amazingly powerful and is a breath of
fresh air coming from using mq. As has been mentioned by others
before, I don't quite know what to do about the abandoned changesets.
So far, they get in the way of

1) histedit (aborts because of orphaned nodes)
2) local numbering is out-of-whack (these have been left out of the
documentation I guess for this reason?)

If I haven't pushed to anywhere, I usually run:

$ hg strip -r 'hidden()'

and that seems to work. So far, this has worked in my simple test
cases even with pushing to other repos but is there a danger to
stripping these changesets?
