            Bug ID: 6902
           Summary: Identify and/or control obsmarkers in push
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 6.7.4
          Hardware: PC
                OS: NetBSD
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature
          Priority: wish
         Component: evolution
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: mercurial-bugzilla at campbell.mumble.net

    Python Version: ---

I have a topic whose changesets have been obsoleted by non-topic changesets.

(This arises from working in a topic on the hg side of NetBSD's cvs->hg
conversion, and then committing to cvs, and then obsoleting the changesets on
the topic once they appear in the conversion.  The context isn't particularly
important but it may help to understand how this happens.)

If I do `hg outgoing -r "topic(mytopic)"', it fails because there's no
non-hidden changesets on that topic.

> abort: specified revisions evaluate to an empty set
> (use different revision arguments)

If I do `hg outgoing --hidden -r "topic(mytopic)"', it doesn't fail but it
doesn't do anything because the changesets are already pushed.

> searching for changes
> no changes found

If I use `hg log --hidden -r "topic(mytopic)"' on the remote end to find the
head that is supposed to be obsolete, say 6577d883cf09, and do `hg outgoing
--hidden -r 6577d883cf09', it still says:

> searching for changes
> no changes found

And hg push doesn't seem to have any effect.

If I use `hg log --hidden -r "allsuccessors(topic(mytopic)) & public()"' to
find the public successor's changeset id, say 3b19e2321332, and do `hg outgoing
--hidden -r 3b19e2321332', it still says:

> searching for changes
> no changes found

And hg push doesn't seem to have any effect.

1. How do I tell what obsmarkers will be pushed, like hg outgoing will tell me
which changesets will be pushed?

2. How do I choose which obsmarkers to push, like pushing a particular
obsmarker for a particular changeset?
