Some things I don't Understand

With bookmarks you could make what feels like a named branch, e.g.
"scratch-feature", but if you later decide to merge the branch into your
trunk, you can simply discard the bookmark, and your repository will carry
no trace of the name.

Compare this with a named branch "scratch-feature". Here you can also merge
the work into your trunk, but the name "scratch-feature" will forever be in
your repository, even though you may have closed it.

Of course you could also use MQ or pbranch if you do not want the
intermediate changesets of your scratch-feature to live in the main
repository.
