[pre-push hook seems buggy] (was: "Push creates new remote heads" and my humble workflow (kind of dummy question))

Thanks for pointing this out. I found this hook a bit too confusing so I
tried out
pre-push:

pre-push=hg pull -u

Works as expected

But 


pre-push=hg fetch

Gave me

abort: working directory not at branch tip
(use 'hg update' to check out branch tip)
abort: pre-push hook exited with status 255


Which was nonsense. Just in case I run hg update 
but received the same message.

Is this a BUG?
