That would be what Fossil calls a "Leaf". I suppose, one could argue that,
in Fossil, a "fork" is a special case of a "leaf", but I consider it to be
an accidental, unnamed branch (allowing for the possibility of descendants
of the original "fork" commit).

So, in absence of an alternative, in Mercuial, a "fork" would be an
"accidental head" or "accidental branch".
