SYNOPSIS
hg branch [name]
DESCRIPTION
hg branch manages named branches in Mercurial. Without arguments, it shows the current branch name. With a name argument, it marks the working directory as being on a new branch, which takes effect on the next commit. Named branches are permanent parts of changeset history. For lightweight Git-style branches, use hg bookmark instead.

-f, --force
Set branch name even if shadowing an existing branch.-C, --clean
Reset branch name to parent branch name.
