that's fine as well. You only saw multiples of 100, but you didn't consider it would skip the itermediate ones, right? :)

haha yea, there is still some issue with duplicate branch names and the branchpoint. if it doesn't get the branch right, it will always "pull" files from the parent branch.
did you do some manual RCS file copying or manual branch name changing of individual files? this could be the reason. I still have to find a simple repo to reproduce this.

This is a mercurial 0.9.3 error, as far as I can tell from the reports. This never occured here, and nobody reporting to me could ever reproduce this problem to pinpoint it.
