hg-push: Push a new branch if it does not exist (disabled by default).

$ hg push --new-branch

try on your machine

The command "hg push --new-branch" is used in Mercurial to push a new branch to a remote repository. Let's break down the command:

"hg" refers to the Mercurial version control system and is used as a prefix for all Mercurial commands.
"push" is used to push changesets from your local repository to a remote repository.
"--new-branch" is an option that tells Mercurial to push the changesets as a new branch in the remote repository.

When you execute the "hg push --new-branch" command, Mercurial will check the changesets in your local repository that have not been pushed yet. It will then transfer those changesets to the remote repository and create a new branch there, using the same branch name as in your local repository.

This command is useful when you want to start working on a new feature or topic in your local repository and push it to a shared repository for collaboration. By using the "--new-branch" option, you can ensure that the changesets are pushed as a separate branch, keeping the history organized and allowing others to easily identify and review the changes related to that branch.
