           Summary: hg update does not always activate bookmarks
          Severity: bug
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Mac OS
          Reporter: alastair at alastairs-place.net
          Hardware: PC
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 2.4
         Component: Mercurial
           Product: Mercurial

If you do

  hg update -r <bookmark>

then the bookmark will be activated, however if you write

  hg update -r 'bookmark(<bookmark>)'

then hg will update to the bookmarked revision, but *won't* activate the
bookmark.  This seems inconsistent, and also presents a *potential* problem if
there is a name clash between a bookmark and e.g. a tag, or where a bookmark
happens to contain characters that would be a valid hex prefix (e.g. "cafe").
