Cool. I tried to use hg bookmarks once or twice, wanting to use them because of
their light nature that you mentioned and because they seemed like a closer
match to the branches that I'm accustomed to in git.
I stumbled on the Bitbucket part and couldn't figure out how to make it work.
But
I stumbled on the same thing. It's unfortunate that Bitbucket's support for
bookmarks in PRs is lacking. :(
Does any one know if the PR updates automatically when further commits are
made, as Florian, asked?
I have no problem myself in using bookmarks, but the Contributing section

git more.
