automatically switched to topic confusion

[Sushil Khanchi]

Yeah, so --clear flag did its work.
And after you did `pull -u` it updated the working directory parent to the
head of descendants,
as -u flag description says "update to new branch head if new descendants
were pulled".

To know what exactly happened and the reason for the new topic with a
similar name, try running
`hg obslog -r 'topic(ctuffli-doc-2)'`
Summary: that is a new descendant with a similar topic name created by a
different user.
