+Divergence
+----------
+From the user’s perspective, two changes are divergent if they both
ask for
+different replacements to the same commit. More precisely, a target
commit is
+considered divergent if there is more than one commit at the head of
a change in
+refs/metas that leads to the target commit via an unbroken chain of
“obsolete”
+edges.

+Much like a merge conflict, divergence is a situation that requires user
+intervention to resolve. The evolve command will stop when it encounters
+divergence and prompt the user to resolve the problem. Users can
solve the
+problem in several ways:
+
+- Discard one of the changes (by deleting its change branch).
+- Merge the two changes (producing a single change branch).
I assume this wont create merge commits for the actual commits though,
just merge the meta branches and create some new commits that are each
the result of something like 'merge-recursive original-commit
our-new-version their-new-version'
That should have been
merge-recursive original-commit^ -- our-new-version their-new-version
