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.
