Re: [glob2-devel] Mercurial woes

OK. So the problem is that because nobody commited to "default" and
therefore the recent "beta2-rc" revisions are technically in the same
branch as the "default" tip - but have a different branchname.

The most elegant way to insert the "beta2-rc" tip into "default" would be
to change the branchname from "beta2-rc" to "default" before you commit.

# hg branch default
# hg commit
# hg branch beta2-rc
# hg push ...

But that isn't realistic.
You could update to the parent revision and recommit the changes after
switching the branchnames, but technically this is worse than adding an
empty line somewhere, because the same changeset would be commit
twice.

I'd say you're doing fine with the dirty workaround.
