Cannot create named bookmark

[dwmw2]

I'm trying to use this to work with Pidgin, having forked the repository on bitbucket.org.

In order to have more than one pull request open at a time without having to fork a completely new repository for each, I need multiple heads in the release-2.x.y branch.

I can do this... commit one set of patches and push thus:

$ git push testfork HEAD:branches/release-2.x.y/search
Bundling 2 changesets
Bundling 2 manifests
Bundling 2 files

remote: added 2 changesets with 2 changes to 1 files (+1 heads)
remote: 
remote: Create pull request for release-2.x.y:
remote:   https://bitbucket.org/dwmw2/testfork/pull-requests/new?source=release-2.x.y&t=1
remote: 
To hg::ssh://[email protected]/dwmw2/testfork
 * [new branch]      HEAD -> branches/release-2.x.y/search

But the names of the bookmarks are dropped, and I just get a bare commit-id next time I fetch:

$  git fetch testfork

AFAICT, submitting a pull request from an unnamed head means that I can't subsequently update it if changes are requested.

Sorry for this late response. I left this on a side of my mind as some sort of missing feature, but revisiting this report, I'm now wondering if it's not only a documentation or UX issue. I think what you want is to push to bookmarks/search and bookmarks/transient instead of branches/release-2.x.y/search and branches/release-2.x.y/transient. AFAIK, mercurial bookmarks are not specifically attached to mercurial branches.
