 `evolve`_ is a Mercurial extension for faster and safer mutable history.
 
+* It offers a safe and simple way to refine changesets locally and propagate
+  those changes to other repositories.
+
+* It can automatically detect and handle the complex issues that can arise from
+  exchanging draft changesets.
+
+* It makes it even possible for multiple developers to rewrite the same part of
+  the history in a distributed way.
+
+* It fully respects the Phases concept so unsure users will only rewrite parts
+  of the history that are safe to be changed. Phases have been part of Mercurial
+  since early 2012.
