you can list the history for one particular bookmark like this:

hg log -prf bookmark:0

looks like hg log bookmark won’t work

i have one quick question though:

“…This means you can also do hg log my-tip or hg qimport -r my-tip. ”

zsuzss-macbook:f zs$ hg bookmarks
my-tip 3:9dc73b7ed083
* orig 8:2587f34b8edf

zsuzss-macbook:f zs$ hg -v
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.1+20081202)

zsuzss-macbook:f zs$ hg add test-orig
zsuzss-macbook:f zs$ hg commit -m “test-orig”

zsuzss-macbook:f zs$ hg log orig
zsuzss-macbook:f zs$
——
should not “hg log orig” show the log for this commit?

(interestingly enough “hg view orig” works as expected)

One thing I personally think is a huge advantage over named branches is the ability to delete bookmarks. I didn’t see this mentioned in your post, but perhaps you can give it a quick mention?

Great work!
