I think what would normally happen is to merge the development branch

This would have worked just fine (as I had mentioned the first time it was
brought up).
This is not quite right. Attempting to merge vim72 into default, or
default into vim72 (as with the following two sequences of commands)
requires to manually solve many merge conflicts.
# vim72 into default
hg clone vim-master foobar
cd foobar
hg merge vim72
# default into vim72
hg clone vim-master foobar
cd foobar
hg update vim72
hg merge default
The expected way to resolve the end of a branch's development
cycle is to merge it back into its parent. This would have prevented the
problem that Tony raised about the default branch now having two heads.
Actually, having multiple heads in the same branch may be considered
as not a problem. When we have local changes, after pulling from the
official repository, in order to merge the new official changesets
into our own local changes, we now have to run (where<highest
revision number> is given by 'hg heads' for example):
hg merge -r<highest revision number>
instead of previously with only one head:
hg merge
Xavier
Also, with multiple heads in the current branch, the "fetch" extension
cannot be used: instead of one command
hg fetch --switch-parent
you have to run three
hg pull -u
hg merge -r ab3fc5de6b49
hg commit -m 'merge for patchlevel 7.3.004'
and the text for the latter two (or at least for the middle one) varies
every time.
Best regards,
Tony.

There is no TRUTH. There is no REALITY. There is no CONSISTENCY.
There are no ABSOLUTE STATEMENTS I'm very probably wrong.
