Hi Angel,

If it is not too much trouble, can you give a reproduction script to set 
up the original state, i.e.

"When I pulled from mercurial's main repo I got A', C' and E', which made 
A, C and E obsolete. This also made B, D and F unstable."

and then give the list of evolve commands that you used to try to fix it?

A recipe that does not depend on the current state fo the mercurial repos 
would be better, but would also be more work.

That way, the rest of us can try to follow along. Also, what versions of 
mercurial and evolve are you using?

                                                         Regards, Faheem
