Some update to the algorithm (and associated doc) is to expected in the future
since the bid merge algorithm is bug-ridden when it comes to file deletion comes
to play.

test deleting .hg/bookmarks.current when explicitly updating
to a revision
$ echo a >> b
$ hg ci -m.
$ hg up -q X
$ test -f .hg/bookmarks.current
try to update to it again to make sure we don't
set and then unset it
$ hg up -q X
$ test -f .hg/bookmarks.current
$ hg up -q 1
$ test -f .hg/bookmarks.current
[1]
when a bookmark is active, hg up -r . is
analogous to hg book -i <active bookmark>
$ hg up -q X
$ hg up -q .
$ test -f .hg/bookmarks.current

issue 4552 -- simulate a pull moving the active bookmark
$ hg up -q X

$ hg log -T '{activebookmark}\n' -r Z
