topic extension

[Nathan Goldbaum]

It's included in the evolve extension. I believe it's still considered
somewhat experimental, along with the rest of the evolve extension. The
idea is to provide an alternative to bookmarks that act a bit more like
named branches. Unlike bookmarks, topics are recorded in the commit
metadata (like named branches). However, they are only visible when a
commit is in draft phase. If the commit is public (i.e. after the code
passes code review and is merged or rebased onto the main line of
development for a team), the topic "fades away". It will always be in the
commit metadata though, so you can always figure out what topic a commit
happens on, just like a mercurial named branch.

I'm not sure there are docs beyond this page:
