No, the default branch vanishes with your last merge into stable, and it will reappear when you will "fork" as you say. There will be no chain of first parent ancestors in default branch back to the root of the repo (you would have to follow back into stable and then "exit" stable again at the correct merge). Also having to use --force might be there for a reason: $ hg branch stable $ hg branch default abort: a branch of the same name already exists (use --force to override) Well, we will see what the funny consequences of this will be. Interesting experiment in any case. The oddities will probably pop up later :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
