Ok thanks, I cloned with hg-git,

And indeed for some of these bookmarks the command you recommend 
gives some sensible answers, but for example 

 

hg log --rev "roots(only('strings'))"

In any case, thanks again for that suggestion

Right, but one observation, in the current implementation, once you push
to a publishing remote repository, the topic information is hidden.
So lately I have seen repositories which on purpose are configured to be
non-publishing, for example hg-git in order to still get the topics
displayed when you pulled

The downside of this approach is that you loose partially the power of
phases.

So would it be convenient to display, at least optionally, topics of
phases that are published? (I know I should ask this on the evolve
mailing list, but I am curious to hear what others on this list think
about it).

Thanks! The point is as I said the bookmarks have their origin in a git
repository (but even in git it is not straightforward to find out where
a git branch starts!).

The roots command seems not to work in hg 5.2, so in which version was
it introduced?

But these are the positions where the bookmark are actually, I recall that 
somebody told me the

Command

  hg log -r 'min(strings)'



Min is just going to give you the lowest revision number matching a 
revset. This is not what you want (and in this case, the revset only 
match one revision).




Should tell me where the bookmark strings started. (I have to admit that I very 
seldom uses bookmarks)

But this command seems not really to work.

Any idea what to do



Bookmark does not record this information, so you don't have a 
definitive answer here (this is part of why topic exists).


If all your bookmark create a unique and independant topological branch 
you can use `roots(only("bookmark-name"))` to find the root of that 
unique topological branch.
