(Tags have > the same property) Hey Mike, Indeed, I don't know how I ended-up with such a bookmark, but it prevented me from git-cloning the repository (and the backtrace was not very helpful at first). But I'm still not sure what you mean by "deleted bookmarks" ? I guess it's not "hg bookmark --delete", as it would not be listed at all. Is it "hg strip some_changeset" that end-up deleting the bookmarked changeset ? I think I've tested this use-case and it moved the bookmark to a parent changeset.
