            Bug ID: 6819
           Summary: amend and --obsolete tip behaves unexpectedly
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 6.3.2
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: bug
          Priority: wish
         Component: evolution
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: zash at zash.se

    Python Version: ---

Attempted amend a commit and at the same time obsolete a commit that was 'tip'
at the time, but it appears this reference is resolved after the new commit has
been amended, thus itself becoming 'tip'.

$ hg ci --amend --obs tip
starting interactive selection
1 new orphan changesets
abort: changeset e3efd08e9363 cannot obsolete itself

I expected this to work, the reference to 'tip' to be resolved at the beginning
of the transaction before that reference changes.
