My most hated behavior of mercurial:
searching for changes adding changesets adding manifests adding file changes added 1 changesets with 3 changes to 3 files (+1 heads) (run 'hg heads' to see heads, 'hg merge' to merge) remote: 1 changesets found running hook post-pull: hg up abort: crosses branches (merge branches or use --clean to discard changes) warning: post-pull hook exited with status 255 $ hg merge abort: outstanding uncommitted changes (use 'hg status' to list changes) $ hg commit nothing changed
Solution:
hg merge --force
Hopefully there are other solutions that I'll eventually add to this.
