Most likely I misunderstood Simon.

Thanks very much. That was *extremely* helpful, because 

    -  I understood now, that there is a difference between:

 hg branch master
 hg commit -m "3"

And

 hg bookmark master
 hg commit -m "3"

That was not clear to me before.

    -  I am now more convinced than ever that I prefer named branches
       over bookmarks.


But there is a small side effect of this, which concerns the git-hg
plugin.

Recently there was a discussing on the matlab-emacs list to switch from
CVS to a more modern system, unfortunately git won over hg (I was the
only one who voted for hg).

So I would like to use the hg-git plugin and, then of course I cannot
use named named branches, because the hg-git plugin does not translate
them well, I should use bookmarks then.

What puzzled me was the following: modifying your approach (replaching @
by master because git needs it) I did


hg init
hg bookmark master
echo one > test.txt
hg add test.txt
hg commit -m "0"
hg bookmark book1
echo two >> test.txt
hg commit -m "1"
echo three >> test.txt
hg commit -m "2"
hg update master
echo four >> test.txt
hg commit -m "3"
hg log -G

Which gives the graph we discussed.

I pushed that to an empty git repo
but then
git log --graph --all --decorate
gave

Which is not exactly the same, as the result of

hg log -G
