=== Using (named) branches ===
Branches are alternative commit histories. Changes done in one branch can be merged into other branches as needed.
+
Most main development happens on the main repository branch "default".
+
We prefer not to use separate branches for little patches, as branches are permanent and will clutter the list of {{{hg branches}}}.
+
So for small code contributions, use "unnamed branches" instead (see below).
However, if you are going to write code that is more a project than a patch and that will take dozens of commits, feel free to do that work on a new branch.
