 {Sharing changes}
 
 I tried to push my changes, but it told me "the remote repository may have been changed by someone else" and refused
 
-This error indicates that the remote repository has some changes in it
-that you do not have in your local repository (and that are in
-branches that you have also changed).  Perhaps someone else made these
-changes and pushed them, or they may have come from you pushing from a
-different computer.

 A good principle is that you should review and test your changes

 changes locally that don't really work or that aren't complete enough

-For that reason, if you change some files and someone else changes

-Mercurial must refuse whichever push happens later -- it won't simply
-merge the changes because the result might not make any sense.

 Instead you must pull the other person's changes and merge them
-locally before you push.  Fortunately, this is easy to do.
+locally before you push.  Fortunately, this is easy to do:
 
 *1. Click Pull on the main toolbar at the top of the EasyMercurial window.*
 
  * You should see that some changes are pulled and added to your local repository.  This will usually lead to a forked graph in the History pane, as your changes and the other user's were both started from the same parent at the same time.
