          Priority: normal
            Bug ID: 3794
                CC: mercurial-devel at selenic.com
          Assignee: bugzilla at selenic.com
           Summary: '+1 heads' message is ambiguous
          Severity: bug
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Mac OS
          Reporter: jruderman at gmail.com
          Hardware: PC
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: unspecified
         Component: Mercurial
           Product: Mercurial

The '+1 heads' message from "hg pull -u" does not distinguish between:

(1) I pulled from a repository that was in a bad state (I need to get on IRC)
(2) I pulled while having outgoing changesets (I need to merge or rebase)
(3) I pulled while having mq pushed changesets (I need to qpop or rebase)

Any one of these is a confusing situation.  Having to figure out after the pull
which situation I'm in makes it that much more confusing -- especially if I
assume I'm in one situation when I'm actually in another (see bug 3793).

I'd like mercurial to also give me hints about what to do in each case, but
telling me what's going on is the most important thing.
