That wiki page is a rough sketch that gets you started.  To really
understand Mercurial's API, you need to dig into the source code.  Or
at least the docstrings in the source code.  ;-)

In this case, bookmark_repo.commitctx() is an override of
localrepository.commitctx().  You'll find that class in
mercurial/localrepo.py.  Many many Mercurial operations go through
localrepository.  E.g. every commit ultimately goes through
localrepo.commitctx(), whether it's from "hg commit" or "hg rebase" or
"hg transplant" or "hg qrefresh" or whatever.  Have fun!
