This will help making the logic more advanced.

  $ hg help -e topic
  topic extension - support for topic branches
  
  Topic branches are lightweight branches which disappear when changes are
  finalized (move to the public phase).
  
  Compared to bookmark, topic is reference carried by each changesets of the
  series instead of just the single head revision.  Topic are quite similar to
  the way named branch work, except they eventually fade away when the changeset
  becomes part of the immutable history. Changeset can belong to both a topic
  and a named branch, but as long as it is mutable, its topic identity will
  prevail. As a result, default destination for 'update', 'merge', etc...  will
  take topic into account. When a topic is active these operations will only
  consider other changesets on that topic (and, in some occurrence, bare
  changeset on same branch).  When no topic is active, changeset with topic will
  be ignored and only bare one on the same branch will be taken in account.
  
  There is currently two commands to be used with that extension: 'topics' and
  'stack'.
  
  The 'hg topics' command is used to set the current topic, change and list
  existing one. 'hg topics --verbose' will list various information related to
  each topic.
  
  The 'stack' will show you information about the stack of commit belonging to
  your current topic.
  
  Topic is offering you aliases reference to changeset in your current topic
  stack as 't#'. For example, 't1' refers to the root of your stack, 't2' to the
  second commits, etc. The 'hg stack' command show these number.
  
  Push behavior will change a bit with topic. When pushing to a publishing
  repository the changesets will turn public and the topic data on them will
  fade away. The logic regarding pushing new heads will behave has before,
  ignore any topic related data. When pushing to a non-publishing repository
  (supporting topic), the head checking will be done taking topic data into
  account. Push will complain about multiple heads on a branch if you push
  multiple heads with no topic information on them (or multiple public heads).
  But pushing a new topic will not requires any specific flag. However, pushing
  multiple heads on a topic will be met with the usual warning.
  
  The 'evolve' extension takes 'topic' into account. 'hg evolve --all' will
  evolve all changesets in the active topic. In addition, by default. 'hg next'
  and 'hg prev' will stick to the current topic.
  
  Be aware that this extension is still an experiment, commands and other
  features are likely to be change/adjusted/dropped over time as we refine the
  concept.
  
  topic-mode
  ==========
  
  The topic extension can be configured to ensure the user do not forget to add
  a topic when committing a new topic:
  
    [experimental]
    # behavior when commit is made without an active topic
    topic-mode = ignore # do nothing special (default)
    topic-mode = warning # print a warning
    topic-mode = enforce # abort the commit (except for merge)
    topic-mode = enforce-all # abort the commit (even for merge)
    topic-mode = random # use a randomized generated topic (except for merge)
    topic-mode = random-all # use a randomized generated topic (even for merge)
  
  Single head enforcing
  =====================
  
  The extensions come with an option to enforce that there is only one heads for
  each name in the repository at any time.
  
    [experimental]
    enforce-single-head = yes
  
  Publishing behavior
  ===================
  
  Topic vanish when changeset move to the public phases. Moving to the public
  phase usually happens on push, but it is possible to update that behavior. The
  server needs to have specific config for this.
  
  * everything pushed become public (the default):
  
      [phase]
      publish = yes
  
  * nothing push turned public:
  
      [phase]
      publish = no
  
  * topic branches are not published, changeset without topic are:
  
      [phase]
      publish = no
      [experimental]
      topic.publish-bare-branch = yes
  
  In addition, the topic extension adds a "--publish" flag on 'hg push'. When
  used, the pushed revisions are published if the push succeeds. It also applies
  to common revisions selected by the push.
  
  list of commands:
  
   stack         list all changesets in a topic and other information
   topics        View current topic, set current topic, change topic for a set
                 of revisions, or see all topics.
  
  (use 'hg help -v topic' to show built-in aliases and global options)
  $ hg help topics
  hg topics [TOPIC]
  
  View current topic, set current topic, change topic for a set of revisions, or
  see all topics.
  
      Clear topic on existing topiced revisions:
  
        hg topics --rev <related revset> --clear
  
      Change topic on some revisions:
  
        hg topics <newtopicname> --rev <related revset>
  
      Clear current topic:
  
        hg topics --clear
  
      Set current topic:
  
        hg topics <topicname>
  
      List of topics:
  
        hg topics
  
      List of topics sorted according to their last touched time displaying last
      touched time and the user who last touched the topic:
  
        hg topics --age
  
      The active topic (if any) will be prepended with a "*".
  
      The '--current' flag helps to take active topic into account. For example,
      if you want to set the topic on all the draft changesets to the active
      topic, you can do: 'hg topics -r "draft()" --current'
  
      The --verbose version of this command display various information on the
      state of each topic.
  
  options ([+] can be repeated):
  
      --clear       clear active topic if any
   -r --rev REV [+] revset of existing revisions
   -l --list        show the stack of changeset in the topic
      --age         show when you last touched the topics
      --current     display the current topic only
  
  (some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)
