Thanks Sietse for that summary of the thread so far. I actually missed the
last suggestion: 'hg pull -B the_bookmark_name' to restore a moved
bookmark, that's helpful to know!

Great to see all of this discussion happening. I've been a mercurial
proponent for years, and the bookmark update is the only behaviour I
consistenly have trouble with when introducing it to other users.
