If one goes to http://hg.python.org/cpython/ and clicks 'browse', it
defaults to 2.7, not to default (now 3.3). Moreover, there is no
indication that it is defaulting to an old branch rather than current
default, as one might reasonably expect. I found this very confusing
when I was trying to get a link for a python-list post and the code
did not look right.
It defaults to "tip" which is the most recently pushed change set. At
the moment, it just so happens that tip is a 2.7 change set. Usually a
change set for "default" will be the most recent but not always. You
just need to check the branch list.
So is it not possible to have the default stay at "default" instead of
at "tip"?
It becomes challenging when you look at the other links:
The bz2/zip/gz links: should they archive default or tip?
[I guess you want them to archive default as well]
The log link (which is actually the default page): should it log
all changes including tip, or start at the head of default?
[Do you really want it to suppress changes that are older than
default's head?]
The graph link: starting from default head, or tip?
[same issue as log]
The changeset link: tip or default?
[I cannot guess what you would prefer. I personally think
all changesets should be hyperlinked in the shortlog, and
the shortlog shouldn't include a changeset navlink. This
is probably intended, except that it breaks for changesets
with tracker issue numbers in their description.]
tags and branches are special cases - they always consider all
of them (where "all tags" is "all .hgtags entries from all
active (?) branches' heads"); help is also special.
