FYI I had a note about absorb at files.lihdd.net/hgabsorb-no.... With `--component absorb` appended to setup.py, lz4-devel and openssl-devel could be unnecessary.

Thank you for this great post! I will definitely switch using absorb now!

When
I tried to compile it on MacOS Sierra I still got the `'lz4.h' file not
found` failure listed even with using `--component` as layed out above.
So I had to run `brew install lz4` to get this fixed.

Interesting, I verified I was able to compile without the lz4 dependency on Fedora. But added a note that it might be required on OSX. Thanks for mentioning it!

Did you by any chance use this extension together with the 'evolve' extension? I am not sure how those two are going to interact.

Are there any known attempts at making the same thing for Git? I'd love to use something like this, but I'm almost always in Git as of late.

These instructions don't work with the latest version of the hg-experimental repository. I had to do `hg up 67b29af73e62` to get it to work (I picked that revision because it's one after the last commit modifying absorb before your post).

Thanks yeah, looks like absorb is tracking the mercurial development branch. So you can either rollback fb-experimental to the commit you mentioned, or install the latest mercurial from source.
