Hmm, that's odd. As far as I know, the difference between the hg and git
DAG model can be summarized like this:
* In git, leaves of the DAG must be assigned a name. If they don't have
a name, they will be garbage collected. If they have a name, they are
called a branch.
* In hg, leaves of the DAG persist. If you want to remove them, you
have to do so explicitly (hg strip), if you want them to have a name,
you must do so explicitly (hg bookmark). A node of the DAG with a
name is called a bookmark.
* hg named branches have no equivalent in git.
Does that help?
Best,
