Branch
    (Noun) A child changeset that has been created from a parent that
    is not a head. These are known as topological branches, see
    'Branch, topological'.If a topological branch is named, it becomes
    a named branch. If a topological branch is not named, it becomes
    an anonymous branch. See 'Branch, anonymous' and 'Branch, named'.

    Branches may be created when changes are pulled from or pushed to
    a remote repository, since new heads may be created by these

    The repository of changesets of a distributed version control
    system (DVCS) can be described as a directed acyclic graph (DAG),
    consisting of nodes and edges, where nodes correspond to
    changesets and edges imply a parent -> child relation. This graph
    can be visualized by graphical tools such as :hg:`glog`
    (graphlog). In mercurial, the DAG is limited by the requirement
    for children to have at most two parents.

Default branch

    encoding, with occasional full revision of data followed by delta
    of each successive revision. It includes data and an index
    pointing to the data.

Rewriting history
    See  'History, rewriting'.

Root
    A changeset that has only the null changeset as its parent. Most
    repositories have only a single root changeset.

    branch tip may be different in different cloned repositories.

Update
    (Noun) Another synonym of changeset.

    Example:  "I've pushed an update".

    (Verb) This term is usually used to describe updating the state of
    the working directory to that of a specific changeset. See
    :hg:`help update`.

Working directory
    See 'Directory, working'.

Working directory parent
