two heads in source code

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,
I have updated code from repository and now I have two heads. I have executed 
heads command to see what is going on:

$ hg heads | head -n 15

changeset:   1763:9daa63d2efc4

------
There are two heads and it looks like also two branches "default" (gbtami last 
commit) and openings-endgames branch (Justin Blanchard last commit).

Why are there two branches? As I have looked at the history I see there was 
always one branch. Any additional commits where doen in separate repositories 
and then merged with "default" branch.

Well, in svn branch development was done in branches.
I don't know if there is historical precede on mercurial, but we should of 
course try to figure out what is most beneficial.

lobais, Mercurial branching vs. cloning:
* Named branches are for developing different branches or versions of the same 
application,
* Clones are for managing different contributions to the same version of the 
application.

We have several branches in hg. There are old ones, like f.e. database 
transformed from svn, and a new one created by Justin.
Sometimes we have to merge in default branch when someone pushes a changeset 
without updating hes local clone while another committer pushed another 
changeset.
