The usefulness of hg evolve is debatable. It can be useful locally, as much as the reflog can be useful in git, but as soon as you push to the upstream repository, you lose that precious history if you haven't pushed it priorly. Worse yet, the reference to that history is still there in what you pushed, despite being nowhere to be found except in your local clone, making it useless to others.

That's true in case you've created some changesets, played with them locally and pushed them upstream. But, say you've played with changesets already available upstream, the unmodified changesets do not go away.
