I seem to remember that we had a huge VCS shootout back in previous times
and that hg basically lost because they had no way to truly "obliterate"
a commit, if for instance laywers waved a credible cease&desist letter.

As I recall that (hard!) requirement was caused by the Tetris trademark thing.

Is this still a concern for the project ?

How does the various VCS's handle that, or have we decided on
roll-back-and-recommit as mitigation ?
