On: Mercurial 4.0 Sprint Notes

[RandomOpinion]

To add my 2 cents, immutable history is more of an annoyance than anything. If someone checks in something by mistake that absolutely must be removed (e.g. something that contains a password), it is a considerable undertaking to actually remove that commit from the repository.

It is not hard once you know how to do it is just not readily documented (ie histedit and force push).

BTW if you checked in a password... you really should now go change that password :)

I know better than to check in passwords, thank you very much. Regrettably, some of my colleagues do not.
