Interesting. I understand that in the very early days of mercurial
branching was done by cloning and that is why I thought
Thorvalds critique of HG
in https://gist.github.com/dukeofgaming/2150263
was because of the lack of true branches at that very early state.
However I am not entirely sure when this talk was given, I thought in
2005, but it seems in 2007, so that time mercurial already had branches.
Hm

Thanks. A last question, what is the most efficient way to search from
the command line in a repository?
I did either
hg grep
or
hg log | more
And then searched, but without success. So any more efficient search
strategy would be very much welcome.
