Hi. Presumably this is a problem with old mercurial not a problem with old
python as mentioned in the commit?

They are indeed, and it now works nicely on all the repos I've tested it
with, including http://selenic.com/hg: very impressive!
I wonder whether it's worth ignoring heads with bookmarks pointing to them
when it comes to considering heads of branches, or at least allowing the
hg branch tracking to be easily disabled?
A common idiom when working with hg bookmarks is to completely ignore the
(not very useful) hg branches (i.e. all commits are on the default hg
branch) and have a bookmark for each line of development used exactly as a
git branch would be.
On such a repository, at the moment you will always get a warning about
multiple heads on branches/default, even though you actually don't care
about branches/default (and would prefer it not to exist) and just want the
branches coming from the bookmarks.
I've also seen repositories with no hg branches, but with a single
unbookmarked tip and bookmarks on some other heads to mark non-mainline
development. It would be nice for branches/default to track the unbookmarked
tip in this case, without warning about the other, bookmarked heads.
Finally, on a simple repo with no branches and where there's no clash with a
bookmark called master, I'd love to be able to a get a more idiomatic
origin/master rather than origin/branches/default.
Just some idle thoughts...
Best wishes,
Chris.
