This is the way there is harm by adding superficial heads to an outgoing repo: - RelEng expects a cws repo to contain exactly one head on integration. They do not want to have to figure out which of multiple heads should be integrated. This is a reasonable requirement. - Thus all heads on an outgoing repository need to be merged before integration. Since all heads are merged into one and this one head will be integrated, everything on the cws will be integrated in the master. - Thus there is no way to have an "scrap branch" on an outgoing repo that will not be integrated in the master. The only way to get rid of unwanted experimental branches is to open a new cws, cherrypick branches over to the new cws and then delete the old cws. tl;dr: Do NOT create multiple heads in outgoing repos. > [...] > real 0m1.551s > user 0m0.100s > sys 0m1.450s Well, thats all true with any real OS and FS. Unfortunately, on Windows time and space requirements are quite different. > ..instead just use hg push -r tip, to only push the head you're > actually working on. Or, if unsure, do not create multiple heads (unless temporarily on a local repo when you do the equivalent of a "cws rebase", in which case you are merging them immediately).
