Very useful, thanks

2 scenarios: my own repositories: for example the notes of my courses,
for each year I use a new branch. I am happy with this approach and I
have not encountered any problems.

However I have also to maintain matlab mode for emacs, which dwells in
sourceforge and in github. These are under git control and I use the hg
plugin to access them. So far I have not used any branching but if I
would, I should use bookmarks.

Bookmarks however frighten me for the reason that on can accidentally
delete them. So my question were mostly academic I wanted to see the
dangers of bookmarks and how to encounter them.

thanks

Uwe
