Unfortunately, I have no experience with TeamWare, and I don't quite
understand this problem.
If a changeset was deemed to be bad and needs to be removed then wouldn't you
just hg export that changeset and then re-apply it using 'patch -R' and commit
again with a note indicating what has happened?
Do TeamWare "backouts" remove the offending changeset and all changesets that
followed?
The problem is Teamware "undo" operations remove the changeset entirely.
This breaks anyone who has updated/pulled/cloned the now-removed
changeset since their history doesn't line up with the canonical gate's
history.
I've worked around it by mapping "undo" => "hg backout" which applies a
reverse patch, but this means the history isn't 100% consistent with the
Teamware history now.
