Add support for phases This adds a "publish" permission level (between "init" and "write") required to be able to change the phase of a changeset from "draft" to "public". Update documentation accordingly. This is meant to be used for using the changeset evolution feature of mercurial, see http://evolution.experimentalworks.net/doc/

These are more notes for myself than for anyone else's benefit, but
I can never remember what all the steps are, so noting them here.
