branch is called the revision's branch tag.
Branch heads are revisions on a given named branch that do not have
- any children on the same branch. A branch head could be a true head
+ any descendants on the same branch. A branch head could be a true head
or it could be the last changeset on a branch before a new branch
was created. If none of the branch heads are true heads, the branch
is considered inactive.
