Since version 1.8, the bookmark command is part of core (no need to enable an extension).

Also, the “track.current” option was removed, and the behavior of “track.current=True” is now the default.

1. Starting with Mercurial 1.6, bookmarks can also be pushed and pulled between repositories.
2. There is a notion of a ‘current’ bookmark. Set

[bookmarks]
track.current = True

to obtain a more Git-like experience(see http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BookmarksExtension)

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

hg log -prf bookmark:0

looks like hg log bookmark won’t work

this looks fantastic!

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)

Nice! This is one of my new favorite features in mercurial.

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!
