This is probably the thing that hurts me most in git/hg translation. In git, I routinely create branches, play with them, then throw them away (either once they get integrated, or when I decide they are a bad idea). It seems to me to be *much* harder to get that lightweight behaviour in hg - if I create a PR for a hg project that isn't accepted, how do I delete it from my clone? In a way that means it won't reappear when I push/pull from my other PC, where I forgot to *also* delete it? Does the answer to that depend on whether I used a bookmark or a branch (and relatedly, which should I use)? Maybe it's also more complicated than it seems on git, but cleaning up experiments seems much easier to me on git. Not that we're getting offtopic here at all, of course... ;-) Paul _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
