This warning exists to prevent git users from prematurely polluting
their namespace when trying out Mercurial. But for repos that already
have multiple branches, understanding what branches are is not
optional so we should just shut up.
In plain `hg log` there is no indication that a commit closes a
branch. You can use hg log --debug, but this is too verbose. A simple
idea copied from thg and other graphical viewers is to display the
node for a closing-branch commit as a horizontal line.
I think this technically is a BC if we consider the graphlog to be
part of the stdout API, but I really can't imagine who the hell is
parsing the graphlog to determine information about commits.
If you actively work with branches, sometimes you need to close old branches
which last commited hundreds revisions ago. After close you will see long
lines in graph visually spoiling history. This sort only moves closed
revisions as close as possible to parents and does not increase storage size
as datesort do.
