Hg bookmarks cannot be easily shared remotely, similarly to Git's branches. This is okay for topic branches, but is a drawback if you want to share multiple lines of work with other people. Also, based on a quick try, hg rebase + hg bookmarks don't play completely well together, as rebasing tends to move also the "trunk" bookmark around. -- Pauli Virtanen _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
