Imagine this:

 |---0.9---1.0---stable---1.0.1---1.0.2---A
             \---devel---1.1.0---1.1.1---B

A would be on the stable branch, but also on 1.0.1 and 1.0.2
B would be on the devel branch, but also on 1.1.0 and 1.1.1

And probably both may list 1.0 and 0.9 as their branch.

On the other hand, the current implementation seems to be buggy, as
you can see with "hg tip -b" on the Mercurial repository:

changeset:   2406:4a678e408ce5
tag:         tip
branch:      0.8.1 0.9 0.8
user:        Vadim Gelfer <vadim.gelfer at gmail.com>
date:        Wed Jun 07 10:33:26 2006 -0700
summary:     revert: check for changes against target rev

Only 0.8, 0.8.1 and 0.9 get listed, but not the older tags.

We talked about this on the London sprint, but have not found a
solution yet how to handle this.

Until then I'd recommend using separate repositories for different
(named) branches.
