branches
--------
+(Legacy command used for discovery in old clients. Clients with ``getbundle``
+use the ``known`` and ``heads`` commands instead.)
+
Obtain ancestor changesets of specific nodes back to a branch point.
Despite the name, this command has nothing to do with Mercurial named branches.
