I believe something like "hg pull -u && hg ci && hg push" would emulate such behaviour: it would first put your working copy in sync with remote, then let you commit, then push your new change. We cannot emulate "svnmerge" for porting between branches, though - and I doubt bzr can do it. That's because merges in common DVCSes are based on the DAG, while svnmerge is a prettily ad-hoc free-form thing. > If so, the devguide could describe that as a transitional step from the old > svn way of doing things. I think we should let things settle a few weeks before starting to describe more workflows in the devguide.
