problems with the hg-git plugin and bookmarks

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

I apologize if that question is to hg-git specific and should be better
asked on that list, but maybe I have not fully understood the concepts
of bookmarks.

I want to use (contribute) to auctex, which is using git.

So I first cloned that repo using the hg-git plugin

 hg clone  git://git.savannah.gnu.org/auctex.git

Since I don't have write access, I don't want to pull but just send
patches to the auctex list.

Anyhow after cloning I have the repo which contains three bookmarks


   gendocspatch              6288:6d1b307d15ea
 * master                    6843:24c9ce964599
   simplify-TeX-parse-error  6696:1ea19cbde4cc

Master being active.

So I want to provide some new code. I create a new bookmark, say
 hg bookmark exam

I add a new file code and commit. All new stuff corresponds now to the
new bookmark exam.

Then I want to merge that into the master bookmark.

 So

 hg update master
 hg merge
 hg commit "Merged finish"

I generate a patch for inspection. Then I want to add a new file, but
now I decide to pull again.

 hg pull

The problem is meanwhile a new commitment was appended but  a strange
one according to hg log -G

So changeset 6844 (which is new): does not carry a bookmark but the tag default/master

While my merged one still has the bookmark master. I am completely puzzled.

What should I do?

Thanks
