I am not so sure (but my evolve version is a bit old), 

Now, all local repositories have Publish true
and I generate a dummy (local) remote repository to which I push


hg init local
hg init remote
cd local
echo "First line" >> test.org
hg addremove
hg ci -m "First commit test"
echo "Second line" >> test.org
hg ci -m "Second commit test"
echo "Third line" >> test.org
hg ci -m "Third commit test"
hg up 0
hg branch british
hg topic english23
echo "Secret line" >> test.org
hg ci -s -m "First secret"
echo "Secret line2" >> test.org
hg ci -m "Second secret"
hg up default


Now 
hg up british 

Gives 
abort: unknown revision 'british'!

I found that bizarre: all changesets on this branch a secret but why
can't I upgrade to them

Is this the desired behavior, really?

hg up english23 

However works

 hg up default

Still works
now I push and add two (draft changesets)

hg push ../remote
echo "New line draft" >> test.org
hg ci -m "Draft commit test"
echo "New line2 draft" >> test.org
hg ci -m "Draft commit2 test"
hg up english23
hg up default

Now hg does what I expect. I am puzzled. So something is not right in my
original repository

So are you saying if I use topics I should use them on all branches?

I usually leave the default branch topic free and add topics for
temporal work to other named branches.
