Hg is introducing "bookmarks" now, corresponding to git branches. I
think this name describes the nature of git branches very well.

Honestly, the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear bookmarks
in relation to VCS is unannotated tags... The idea of self advancing

That's because you're thinking of browser bookmarks instead of a real bookmark. A bookmark in a book would be rather pointless if I couldn't advance it as I read pages. :-D
