Cannot create and close a branch in a single commit.

[Sebastian Unger]

Hi Guys,

I expected the following sequence of commands to work. I'm pretty sure they
used to work in an earlier version of mercurial. Is this intentional or a
regression? If the latter how do I go about raising a bug report for this.
If the former, would you consider adding a -f to the commit command that
allows this?




*REPO=$(mktemp -d)hg init $REPOhg branch -R $REPO testBranchhg ci -R $REPO
--close-branch -m "Creating and closing branch."*

Result with mercurial 2.6.3 (as shipped with Ubuntu 13.10):
*abort: can only close branch heads*

Cheers,
