I am deeply sorry 😉

The point is the bibtex repo had only the default branch, I could use
evolve to rename the branch. Right now I only added the bibtex branch
and one  new change set

I run a test, cloned my latex repository and then in this cloned one.


hg pull /home/user/HGs/tex/bib/ --force -b bibtex


--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
pulling from /home/oub/ALLES/HGs/tex/bib/
searching for changes
warning: repository is unrelated
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
abort: empty revision on one side of range
warning: outgoing hook exited with status 255
added 399 changesets with 529 changes to 22 files (+1 heads)
32 new obsolescence markers
new changesets e3d1de58c858:9b7a5fbc6b01
(run 'hg heads' to see heads, 'hg merge' to merge)
abort: empty revision on one side of range
warning: changegroup.diffstat hook exited with status 255
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So that would add quite a bit of changesets to my latex repository.
