I'm going to have to look into this; it sounds really interesting. Two things that have me curious are what happens if you DO push with -r, and what happens if you try to rebase a task.

Dilip, yes mq can do a lot of the same things (and a lot more!), but I wanted something that worked by adding some metadata on a regular hg repo instead of a stack of patches. -Alex Hi Ryan,

Do ALL of those commits get pushed even if you are in a separate bookmark? b) How do move out of all bookmarks back into the main branch? (As in you first example where none of the bookmarks are active) I think some of my confusion comes from my familiarity with git branches...

Git's cheap local branches are the killer feature for me and your tasks extension seems to provide the same functionality. Great! I sure hope this ends up in the core.

I had read your previous post about bookmarks and found it handy. I like bookmarks, but what I wanted was more like git branches, which is what the tasks seem to do. This matches my personal workflow almost exactly. Thanks again! Thanks for the writeup! I had read your previous post about bookmarks and found it handy.
