I understand that this might be better described, because the
documentation <https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/Bookmarks>,
<https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/NamedBranches> talks rather about
how particular features work – than giving an advice when use which one.

And with Git you can run into a situation that something weird happened
in the past, but you have no clue why or who did it and you are unable
to recover the original state and reproduce the scenario because certain
pieces of information are missing. I experienced several awkward
situations and wasted time with Git… This is one of reasons why I love
Mercurial – it is much better in history recording and it is much harder
to loose the information with Hg than with Git (especially the tags and
branches).
