           Summary: Bookmarks shouldn't auto-advance across branch
                    boundaries
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 3.5
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature
          Priority: wish
         Component: bookmarks
          Assignee: bugzilla at selenic.com

Currently if you have an active bookmark, creating a new branch causes the
bookmark to advance to the new commit and cross branches. This is rather
counterintuitive, bookmarks shouldn't automatically cross branches under any
situation.

E.g. standing on the default branch head:
hg bookmark test
hg branch dummy
hg commit -m "Create dummy branch"

after this, the "test" bookmark will point to the "Create dummy branch" commit,
while IMO it should stay on the head of default.
