Plus, at my work we have flex time so it's more of a 4pm-6pm rush ;) | |

| Jun 6, 2011 at 9:26 | comment | added | Ed James | That's the thing, as far as mercurial is concerned a clone is a branch, you can still do pretty much everything you can do with a standard "head" (and some more stuff!), but you have the added luxury of the pull/push level of distance from the trunk. I'm not sure what you mean about permanence, when you're done with your clone you can just delete it. | |
| Jun 6, 2011 at 3:17 | comment | added | TheLQ | I've always heard that you clone to work on experimental features, not branch. Most of the reasons I heard is that in mercurial branches are much more permanent than in Git. I could be wrong however | |
