Bookmarks Bikeshed

Proposal	remote format	hg pull behavior	hg clone behavior	hg book behavior	Pros	Cons
today	lolwut	local marks of matching name advance or are marked as divergent	local mark produced for all remote bookmarks	shows all local marks and divergent marks	No work	Yup.
1	remote/mark (default path) remote/path/mark (other path)	local marks never move	local marks are never produced	shows no remote bookmarks	more comprehensible syntax [?] Marks don’t move unexpectedly Easy to see advancement Can have many marks on server	Easier to delete remote bookmark accidentally No indication of divergence (but can show in ‘hg sum’/’hg pull’) BC Path segment on default disappears
2	mark@default mark@path	local marks never move	local marks never produced	Shows remote bookmarks as “virtual” bookmarks when there is divergence (looks the same as present-day divergence behavior).	Keeps existing syntax - fewest changes we’re happy with Marks don’t move unexpectedly easy to see divergence can have many marks on server	Postfix@ confusing [?] BC easier to delete remote bm accidentally
3	mark@default mark@path	local marks move on pull when names match	local marks produced for all bookmarks	shows remote marks iff they are divergent from a local mark	“No” BCs keeps syntax	postfix@ syntax local bookmarks move under you cloning ALL the marks!
