bitbucket, using the «wrong» branch

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

The situation is the following

I have a repo with the default branch and a Uwe branch.
I pushed that repo to bitbucket.

Now a collaborator of mine, who has very little knowledge of mercurial
besides hg clone,  commit push and pull -u
is committing to that repo has well. I have not informed him about the
Uwe branch, and till now all his commits ended up in the default branch.

However his  last commit did not end up in the default branch but in the
Uwe branch

And indeed he sent me the output of hg log -G (for other reasons) and he
had the Uwe branch activated. Since he does not know about that branch
and how to switch to it, I am puzzled. I thought when I push to
bitbucket and he pulls he ends up always with the default branch.


I did some checking with local repos which I cloned and pushed however
the client never changed to the Uwe branch without doing it explicitly
doing it.

So I am puzzled.

Any ideas?
