Mads, could you explain to me what you mean by the difference between
a named branch and a DAG branch ? For example (letters respresent
revision numbers obviously) :
A - B - C - D - F - G - K (default)
            \
             E - H - I - J (feature1)
To me a (named) branch is simply the group E-H-I-J (or even
A-B-C-D-F-G-K), which was given a name that is registered in each cset
along that line.
Can you show me an example of what you mean by a DAG branch in the
above example ?
And Sune, are DAG branches (as Mads sees them) what you had in mind
when you mentioned wanting to visualize 'hg log -f -r <branch>' ?
Could it be that the DAG branch is really A-B-C-E-H-I-J (always
starting at the root) ?
Maybe one of you could point me to some page with a good explanation
about this subject, so I can educate myself on this ?
