A better way to review mutable git history
Changeset evolution is a concept that originated in the Mercurial version control system and has slowly been adapted to git. When working and reviewing a series of commits, it can be helpful to be able to change each individual commit in the series, without adding new commits on top. This produces cleaner history and eases the burden of reviewers during the backs-and-forths of the review process. We'll look at Jujutsu and git range-diff.
