            Bug ID: 6053
           Summary: evolve can fall into unrecoverable state
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 4.8.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature
          Priority: wish
         Component: evolution
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: akhilpai at google.com
                CC: mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org,
                    pierre-yves.david at ens-lyon.org

Context: From #mercurial and #hg-evolve

Owls: I cannot update/commit/amend because I have an evolve in progress. I
cannot evolve because I have an outstanding uncommitted merge. I cannot merge
because my working directory is not at a head revision.

marmoute: just `rm .hg/evolvestate` and then hg up -C ."

This resolves the problem, but ideally it should not be possible to get into
this state.
