1. Checkout Datical project from your source control (Git, TFS, SVN)
2. Run "hammer removeLabels" command. This command takes two arguments:
   1. lookupChangesets - This is the script name which you want to abandon, e.g., "abandoned,temp_table.sql". The "temp_table.sql" will be the FIRST user provided argument.
   2. labels - This is the label you want to remove from your changesets, e.g., "abandoned"
      1. Once you agree on what naming convention to use to abandon changes, this argument can be programmatic (e.g., "abandoned/1.0.0") or hard-coded (e.g., "abandoned").
3. Run "hammer addLabels" command. This command takes two arguments:
   1. lookupChangesets - This is the script name which you unabandon, e.g., "temp_table.sql". The "temp_table.sql" is the FIRST user provided argument.
   2. labels - This is the new release label you want to give to your changesets, e.g., "release/2.0.0". The "release/2.0.0" is the SECOND user provided argument.
4. Commit and push Datical project back into source control

Make sure that you alway deploy using "!abandoned" label (notice the "!") with your deploy automation tool. Here is a sample deploy command you would use:

1. 1. hammer deploy STAGE --labels "release/2.0.0 AND !abandoned"
   2. hammer deploy PROD --labels "release/2.0.0 AND !abandoned"
