I believe branches in hg are somewhat permanent. Your branches have direct, one-to-one, relationship with remote ones. Also, you can't exactly remove a branch in it, AFAIK. But there is `Local Branch Extension' available. after using hg for some time, i went for git where branches are more ephemeral. no idea why this group shuns git, but i'm in no position to proselytise. perhaps porting fossil (the dvcs) [1] to plan 9 would be a good option? [1] an unfortunate name conflict -- aside of the fossil archival filesystem there is fossil DVCS (by the sqlite guys), implemented in C (probably c99 flavor) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_(software) -- dexen deVries ``One can't proceed from the informal to the formal by formal means.''
