A guy on http://ln-s.net/52l_ has a point: The Mercurial web interface
could be more helpful regarding named branches.
What do http://selenic.com/repo/hg/branches really show? Apparently not
"branches" as the texts indicate, but more like "current named branch
heads"?
Wouldn't it make sense if the branch names linked to for example
http://selenic.com/repo/hg/branch/stable (which shows "changesets on the
branch and their ancestors"?) ?
We have the http://selenic.com/repo/hg#stable notation which works for
cloning but doesn't work in web interface. Shouldn't it be shown in the
web interface anyway?
http://selenic.com/repo/hg/branch/stable works in web interface but
can't be used for cloning. Shouldn't the latter be extended to work for
branch cloning as well?
Comments?
