I think that's different than what John was describing, or perhaps Python's use of it has the effect of being different. IIUC, in Mercurial, within the default branch there's no clear "main line" of development assigned to a path within the DAG. All paths are created equal, so it's not possible to e.g. have log or bisect suppress one path containing feature sub-commits from the point of departure to the point of recombination (merge). -Barry
