https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/log?rev=first%28keyword%28branch%29+and+keyword%28name%29%29
indicates to me at least as far back as 2005, so pretty much from the
beginning of hg.

2008: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/log?rev=first%28keyword%28bookmark%29%29
though they'd been in an external extension before that, probably for
around a year? Maybe longer.
